The tilt-shift effect has become quite a popular way to give your photos an original artificial look. If you want to give it a try – and don't want to mess around with Photoshop – this is the perfect tool for you.

TiltShift Generator is an AIR-based app that lets you apply the famous tilt-shift effect to any photo in just a couple of clicks. Simply load up the picture on the program and the effect will be immediately applied, leaving you the possibility to tweak a few settings and obtain the perfect result.

These settings, which are places on a sidebar, let you fine tune the center radius and the effect's strength, as well as adjust the saturation, contrast and brightness values, and tweak the vignetting filter. The program shows the effects of all your changes in real time, so you know how the result will look like at all times. When you're done, simply save the photo.

Being a app that was originally created for the iPhone, the only drawback to TiltShift Generator is that it doesn't work very well with larger pictures.

TiltShift Generator is a really easy way to apply a very attractive tilt-shift effect to your photos.
