that's the "same thing" in the sense that bird eggs and kangaroo pouches
are the same thing; i'm not a purist nor very interested in tilt/shift,
but i do know Photoshop can't vary the focus distance according to
position on the sensor, it can simulate out-of-focus, but it can't
_simulate_ in-focus
No. The two technologies aren't as disparate as a kangaroo pouch and an
egg. A better analogy would be driving two different routes -- one scenic
and one fast -- to get to the same place. Or traveling to the same place
by car rather than bicycle -- one being more pure, the other more
efficient.
Yes, it's true you can't bring objects into focus with PhotoShop – at
least not to any great extent. But using tilt for DOF is really only a
factor in large format photography, where DOF is extremely limited. With a
16 x 24 sensor, extensive DOF is easy to achieve. Tilt would be relatively
useless in this case, except perhaps for macro photograph. And even in
that case, the entire camera can usually be tilted to achieve matching
focus.
There's a reason why no one is producing new tilt/shift lenses for DSLR
cameras.
