This week I had a chance to try out the new Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 software, which will be coming out shortly. My favorite new feature of this release is the Tilt-Shift Guided Edit. You can add a tilt-shift effect to photos in three easy clicks. Above are examples of a few photos that I used this effect on. I can't wait to use this effect on future photo shoots!

Hey this is a great feature, I'd love that. In the past, I've been using tiltshiftmaker.com for that effect, but only very rarely as it is a bit of a hassle. Which means most my photos are effect-less, plain and real. Would love to play around with it though -so, would be tres happy to be amongst the happy three winning this.
Gerhard Richter, even though he's more a painter, but a photographic one at that.
THANKS, Kathleen

Wow, what a great opportunity! I don't have a favorite "photographer" necessarily. Well no one super famous. I just LOVE blogger Ashley Ann's photography. She is a mom who photographs daily life & that speaks so much to me!
Hope I win!
