Hi Cmone,

Good fun This effect is known as 'Tilt-Shift' - though for real TS you need the proper equuipment, everything we do in software to emulate this (or via built into many modern cameras now) is just faking it.
A similar technique to yours was also posted here ; http://xara-users.info/demos/tiltshift/

Hi Steve,

Thx for info, "Tilt-Shift" is the name in English, okay... ;-)
I love the Effect.

Ah yes, I have this Image Analyzer software too.. You are right, they call it 'Out of focus blur'.. But the effect is known in the photographic world as 'Tilt-Shift'.
But, as you have discovered yourself, it's quite easy to create this effect in Xara Designer, Xara Web Designer and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer.
I agree - it's a neat effect and with the right photo it works very well.

Cool effect, here's my attempt in xara... I can't seem to get it as convincing as the other photos though.
