However it's more similar to a PS smart blur filter, and surface blur filter provides better result (the difference is that surface blur reduces noise smoother than smart blur or selective blur in GIMP, which (it's about selective or smart blur) simply blurs some pixels so some are left unchanged). Maybe there isn't the same filter available in GIMP, but I hope Selective blur will be a very useful filter for me :) -- Tadas (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The Selective Gaussian Blur plug-in might be able to provide a similar result ( see http://docs.gimp.org/en/filters-blur.html ).

[Gimp-user] GIMP and "surface blur" (from PS)
Hello, Could you tell me if it's possible to make something like blurring image using "surface blur" (in PS4)filter in GIMP? I didn't find anything similar in GIMP filters so maybe there is a plug-in which lets to do it? Surface blur is the filter which I was using in PS4 to automatically blur out of focus areas (it reduces noise much better than other filters for me) and not to blur sharp areas. I liked it because noise reduction filter blurred everything and I wanted to have still sharp image with reduced noise. But now I'm GIMP user. :) Everything is pretty good here, but "surface blur" is the function I miss. So I would be very grateful if you tell me if it's available in GIMP as plug-in or I simply don't find that function in GIMP... Thank you!
