Thanks A slightly more manual method using a filter I wrote, where you can select what part of the image remains completely sharp... 1) get and install my WrapMap filter (requires python support) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-wrapmap/. I suggest you play with it a bit to get acquainted first. 2) duplicate your sharp image (let's call it the 'Sharp layer) to another layer ((Blurred), and blur it to the maximum blur you want to get. Put it on top. 3) add a layer to that image (the Map, which should as wide as your transition area (for performance reasons, avoid being bigger that 200 pixels). This layer can also be in a separate image... 4) fill Map with a left to right gradient, black to white. 5) In Sharp select the part that should be kept sharp (lasso selection, scissors, whatever suits you) 6) That's where is starts being a bit clever: add a layer mask to Blurred 7) select the layer mask, fill the selection with black 8) still on the layer mask, apply the Wrap Map filter. It wil wrap the gradient in Map around your selection. 9) So now your layer mask has a full black spot corresponding the the sharp part of the picture, surrounded by a black to white area which is your blur transition 10) Put Blurred on top, and make Map invisible if it's in the same image, and you are done. 11) Using the the various color tools (curves, levels, contrast, threshold) on the layer mask, you may alter the linearity of the gradient and so adjust how the blur progression happens. An example is available here; http://dl.free.fr/cnRwtXe8s PS: If you need a transition significantly wider than 200 pixels, I suggest that you prepare the selection/blur map on a scaled down image (you can apply WrapMap on a plain layer in this case), then scale up the layer to the right dimension, and copy/paste it to the layer mask. If you don't know how top copy/paste to a layer mask, it's explained here: http://blog.irisquest.net/2008/02/gimp-using-image-layer-layer-mask ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Focus Blur Plugin Windows Binary
Would it be possilbe for someone to build the Focus Blur (http://sudakyo.hp.infoseek.co.jp/gimp/fblur/focusblur_e.html) binary for Windows? I do not have a development environment to build plugins so I was wondering if someone would kindly build this for Windows. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Focus Blur Plugin Windows Binary
The plugin that you have posted at deviantart is this one http://refocus.sourceforge.net/which is designed to Sharpen an image or if an image is blurred to take the blur away. The Focus blur plugin adds blur to an image. Your plugin is not what I am looking for. An example of the plugin is here (http://sudakyo.hp.infoseek.co.jp/gimp/fblur/focusblur3e.html) From: Alchemie foto\\grafiche wroteHy in last reply you just send back my message ,is that the version you search or you know of a newer? From the compiled plugin? info and name is missed the release number so for me is hard to guess which may be, but may be easier for you if you already know the plugin? spot if are changes in the interface or in the speed or whatever. if this may help ,...works with gimp 2.4.6 without apparent problem. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The plugin that you are referring to is the Refocus plugin.
