The first time I saw that effect was when someone used it when covering the 2005 olympics and won a <a title="World Press Photo" href="http://www.worldpressphoto.org/?bandwidth=high" rel="nofollow">World Press Photo</a> award... Thing is, with an actual tilt & shift lens, the perspective is adjusted when you tilt the lens. All that these post-processing toys seem to do is add a bluurring mask to reproduce a false shallow depth of field effect, but no perspective adjustment... surely that's just a reproduction of tilt effect, but not shift!
