Tilt-Shift?

Tilt-Shift Maker  have got it all wrong. What I never wanted when I used a tilt-shift lens or the movements on a 4×5 was never to reduce the area of sharp focus, but always to get a greater apparent depth of field by tilting the plane of focus to cover the subject.

So I don’t want this. What I’d like to see is that foreground area made sharp. Software that could do that would really be clever. Almost every time I go out to take pictures in winter or at night when light it low I find pictures where I can’t get the depth of field I want – and often a tilt lens could help. It isn’t often I want less depth of field – and when I do it generally isn’t just in the simple way that this program offers.

But if you are really looking for a new way to really mess up your photos and get some glowing comments on flickr, this is perhaps the way to go.
