Thought this might be of interest to some of you.

Tilt-shift miniature style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like model photographs. Check it out. http://tiltshiftmaker.com/

Does it do anything besides simulation of reduced DOF?

I'm not sure I see the point.

It's easy to do similar effect in WD.

...and far more creatively, I think.

It might be constructive to see some creative examples (along with comments on technique).

edit: This suggestion was targeting Xara-handled photo manipulation.

I thought the examples at the site did a good job of showing the creative benefit. I played with several of my own images with less impressive results. While I agree it is quite possible to do such photo manipulations in Xara Xtreme (and perhaps Xara-WD) I think there is still value to this on-line tool. It makes it easy.

Looking at their sample images I did find myself thinking such manipulations could be handy for larger 'splash' type graphics on websites.
