I see you are as hooked on this program as I am. Its so funny to see a place I know so well miniaturized!!
I've put my first experiments up at http://picasaweb.google.com/jwscyd/TiltShifts - about half of them worked ok. i'm not addicted/wedded to the idea yet.
My husband's been playing with the effect manually. He wanted to mask the vertical elements in the plane that's focused, but I'm really impressed at how well the effect holds up even with strong verticals that are partially blurred.
