Cool PhotoShop effects!!!
By Simply using 2 layers in PS you can alter a photo giving it a shallow depth of field creating a toy model affect. Give it a try Open a picture you think might work well in PS (aerial photos and high angle Vantage-points work best)
Copy and Paste your background so you have 2 identical layers. Goto Filter/blur/Gaussian blur. A Settings box should pop up where you can change the intensity of the filter. I prefer anywhere between 5%-15%. Now using a soft erase tool erase sections of the blurred layer to bring objects back into focus. Practice makes perfect so try it out on couple different photos
Here is a cool Video example of Gaussian Blur....
