TiltShift brings miniature faking to the iPhone
If you're looking for a quick way to add that "miniature" effect to photos from your iPhone, TiltShift is for you.
While not as powerful as using desktop image editing software, it can quickly doctor your images to give them that tilt-shifty look, or just apply a dreamy vignette around the edges.
TiltShift comes with a library of photos to try, but you can also use photos from your iPhone or iPod touch's camera roll. If you have an iPhone, you can take a picture directly from the app.
The app works in both portrait and landscape modes, which makes it easier to transform wider photos. Rotating the screen was a little strange -- it sometimes didn't recognize when my iPod touch was rotated, and I had to sort of jiggle it to make it rotate properly.
The results are pretty good: It takes a fair bit of fiddling to get it just right, and a small screen size (and no zoom support) makes very detailed manipulation difficult. On the scale of "do you want it good, or do you want it fast," TiltShift definitely leans toward "fast." Nifty, nevertheless.
TiltShift is $1.99, and is available in the App Store.

Pretty cool little app. Great for I-Phone stuff but not nearly as powerful as a Mac RIP

Pointless and useless app, not worth even 2 bucks - if I'd ever need that ""miniature" effect "" (geez!) I would use Gimp, it is free and it works on a desktop with full-sized images without iPhone memory limitations.
Ridiculous.

Guys, didn't you know that the iPhone app market caters to dmichell's interests and demands?
Honestly, I mean our article-writers here at TUAW really need to start checking their facts. How dare they post something that may be worthwhile to someone other than dmichell?
Chillax...
