How to Create Tilt Shift in Photoshop CS6

How to Create Tilt Shift in Photoshop CS6
In today's tutorial we'll learn how to create  tilt shift in Photoshop CS6, step by step.
 
The way is easy, that is to apply a tilt-shift blur filter to the duplicate layer, then add a hue-saturation adjustment to get a good miniature photo effect.

Photos that are suitable for this effect are photos of urban or garden landscapes. Portrait photos are not suitable for tilt-shift effects.
