after opening your image, if there is no editing to do then go to filters. blur, lens blur. You can play with the adjustments but I left mine at Blur Focus = 0 Radius = 21 Blade and Rotation at 0 Brightness will vary on the image and Threshold =255.
When you are selected the amount of blur you want keep in mind that the main focal point will be in focus you are deciding the amount of blur you want on the background. I kept the blur fairly low because its easier to add more than take it back.
When you are done with that popup hit ok. It takes a little while then it will come up blurring your whole image dont freak out! on your history menu highlight the last thing you did before the blur...see image. on mine I selected open. click in the box next to lens blur, it will put a brush and arrow in that box. like in image below... Now select the history brush from your toolbar it looks just like the image in the box...make your brush size fairly large. with your brush you will start "blurring" your image. With a tilt and shift lens you can only blur in vertical or horizonal, one or the other or both. Not in circular motions. you can do it, it just wont look like tilt shift....
I applied lens blur a couple of times and slowly blurred. With a true tilt shift lens it will be sharp in the area you select, a little blurry just beyond that then blur dramatically
Hopefully I explained that well enough, if not comment and I will try to clarify...
