Before I make my own edits, it\u2019s fun to see how others in the PicsArt community have remixed this image by clicking the blue pencil icon. All of them are pretty cool, but I want to put my own spin on it and share it too.<\/p>\n<p>Tap \u201cAdd Remix\u201d to get going. To use the Tilt Shift Tool, simply tap on Tool &gt; Tilt Shift, and you\u2019ll see vertical or circular Tilt Shift options.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-28194\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/10\/7_720.png\" alt=\"PicsArt Windows Photo Editor\" width=\"772\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/10\/7_720.png 720w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/10\/7_720-585x373.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I choose the horizontal Tilt Shift option and adjust it so the edges of this image get blurry, drawing your eye straight\u00a0the girl on her skateboard!
