Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

 

In my experience it is not the same.  You can't add focus where it isn't
(sharpening has its limits and affects tonality) and there is more to
perspective control than stretching the image.  With shift, you are actually
taking a slightly different image.

Forgive me for p**ing on the discussion, but can't tilts and shifts be 
done in Photoshop post production?
