Use Photoshop’s Lens Blur to simulate miniature model photos

114268669 ab063660b0 m Use Photoshops Lens Blur to simulate miniature model photosI saw this tutorial a while back and just didn’t have a second to try it out before posting it here. Now that I have tested it out, I’d like to introduce you to this work by Christopher Phin where he will show you how to use Photoshop CS or better to transform a landscape photo into that which simulates a photo of a miniature of that same scene. It may not be the best way to preserve the photos of your vacation to Europe, but it’s a nice way to learn about Photoshop’s Lens Blur fliter.

Flickr Savr v.5 …a slideshow screen saver for the Flickr set

FlickrSavr is a new release of a Mac OS X screen saver that downloads images from the photo sharing service Flickr based on certain criteria specified and creates a slideshow of images and titles. You can have the screen saver grab images from a specific user, look for images with certain tags, pull pics from a user’s contact’s postings or from recent postings across the Flickr universe. Each pic is displayed on screen for a respectable amount of time with the image’s title superimposed in its lower third. (Well done, Chris.)

Flickr Savr v.5 is free for downloading. And if you’re looking for a nice user account from which to pull images, might I suggest Splorp?
