fake miniature filter

[Lukast dev]

I do this to achieve the result which is quite a similar:
1. Open Image
2. Copy that layer
3. Blur the image with gaussian blur (let's take value 30 )
4. Add layer mask to blur layer layer (white - as full opacity)
5. Use gradient tool to make some gradient as needed
6. Tadaa

Is it that?
