Shygantic, nice simple steps!
May I suggest Focus Blur as an alternative to the Gaussian Blur? It gives good results with 10.00 radius, flat model, and 255 focus. (There was a windows binary version somewhere once, but it seems to have disappeared!)
Also, you might add something like "delete the quick mask" before adjusting curves in step 4.
My first T-S fake:

Update: I've been playing with depth maps and the Focus Blur plugin. This one is improved:
See the description for more info. Also see:
fancy masks (see mute*'s post). Another good example here.

If anyone needs the Focus Blur binary, I've mirrored it here temporarily as it seems to have disappeared. Place it in your lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins folder.

Thankyou so much for this explanation of tilt shift in gimp and the focus blur plug in and the explanation of how to 'install' the plug in! You have solved 3 problems of mine in 5 minutes!

Thanks!

Settings include 30px blur, sparkle (apparently unused) and mask. Gradient is comprised of a bi-linear gradient with a radial gradient overlay at around 30% opacity, then adjusted with Levels & Curves tools.

Don't feel limited to using the gradient tool. You don't even need to do the quick mask thing either. You can select something with the "Select rectangular regions" or "Select elliptical regions" or "Select hand-drawn regions", then do:
Select > Invert
then go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian blur
ok
for example:
you can see that i've made clear the left and right regions of us, but we in between are blurry. this isn't the best example of a tilt shift fake, but just illustrates that it is possible to select what you want instead of just a horizontal line the entire way across the picture...

That's a great instruction. Thank you very much, shygantic. I just tried it with a photo of the Reichstag in Berlin, Germany.

Does anyone have any experience installing the fblur plugin on os x? I've tried following the instructions to install it using gimptool, but I appear to get a compile error.
>CFLAGS="-O2 -DG_DISABLE_ASSERT -DFBLUR_PREVIEW=1 -DENABLE_NLS" /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gimptool-2.0 --install Downloads/fblur-2.3.c
typing the above results in the errors below:
/Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gimptool-2.0: line 327: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
/Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gimptool-2.0: line 346: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Hi, I'm using FBlur and it's working fine, but there's something about using FFTW to speed up the maths on the FBlur homepage. Has anyone had any success installing FFTW since it seems like you have to know about compiling in C which I don't know how to do!

When I go to Gaussian Blur, it doesn't do anything. This is my first time with the Gimp, so I'm not surprised, lol.

Am I going nuts?.... I cannot see any gradient tool in GIMP 2.6 which I've recently downloaded. So I can't even complete step 1.
Help!!

 If Gimp has a toolbar like Photoshop, then the grad fill tool should be next to the paint bucket icon.
If not, someone else will tell you what it looks like. Or you could just like, use the HELP menu and search for "gradient fill".

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home tonight....... I have seen 3 different guides which say use the gradient tool but it is still a mystery to me.

In GIMP the term "gradient" is referred to as "blend". It's generally between the paint bucket and the pencil, or you can use Tools > Paint Tools > Blend (or the hotkey for it is L ). You'll want to choose "Bi-linear" for shape and put a check in the box next to the gradient (this will make the default "FG to BG" the inverse "BG to FG" that you'll need).

I just realized that it actually makes it easier not to invert the blend tool. Scratch that... Here are my attempts:

how do i delete the quick mask? i'm using gimp 2.6

My first tilt-shift. Followed the steps but without deleting the quick mask. Just went straight to Select>All after Gaussian blur. Not sure if I have done it correctly but it seems to have the T-S effect. After adjusting the curves, it also looks overexposed. Any comments?

I have learned this using the select tools and the blend tool. I like the blended look but that lacks the ability to choose a specific location. On the other hand, I like being able to select whatever I want using the select tools but that lacks any blending. Is there a way to compromise the two? I can't figure it out. :(
