How To Create a TILT

Tilts are when a photo leans just a little bit.  This effect is often used in contemporary design.

How to make a TILT

Step 1:  Open photo in Photoshop

Step 2:  On the LAYERS MENU, double click on 'background layer' so that it becomes "layer 0"

Step 3:  IMAGE> ROTATE CANVAS> ARBITRARY> 5 degrees CW or CCW (depending on which way you want it to tilt)

Step 4:  Save As>   Add the word "tilt" to the title

FORMAT: TIFF

Make sure you select  "SAVE TRANSPARENCY" in the format options.
