Movie makers often take shots of scale models and try to pass them off as the real thing, but who does the opposite - making real photos look like they're fake scale models?

Well here's a cool tutorial on how to turn normal photographs of scenery / buildings into fake "scale model" shots...

It's quite amazing - the effect makes it look like you built a miniature model of the scene!

Basically he applies a mask and selective blur, to give an impression of really shallow DOF, and then plays with the curves to saturate the colours (for that fake effect).

Cool!
Thanks for the link. I cant get enough of these tutorials. I had a play with it.
