Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 076 Miniaturizing the world in Photoshop, part of Deke's Techniques.
This week I'm going to take you on a journey to the fake world of miniatures.…Specifically, we'll be taking this street scene and shrinking it down to this…final composition right here.…Now, it's not a matter of reducing the size of the image;…that would just give you fewer pixels.…Instead, it's 100% a focus trick.…So whether you want to pretend that the city has shrunk or that you have grown…to become super huge, here: let me show you exactly how it works.…
The first step is to render the scene in plastic using a combination of Reduce…Noise, Median, and Smart Sharpen--all of which can be applied as Smart Filters.…So, starting with this flat photograph, I'll go over to the Layers Panel flyout…menu and choose Convert to Smart Object.…Then I'll rename this layer "traffic," or something like that.…Then go up to the Filter menu, choose Noise, and choose Reduce Noise. And here's…the values that I recommend.…Go ahead and crank that Strength value up to 10, because we want to average as…many details as possible.…
