I am trying to find the name of this effect. I know i did this years ago with a Google Chrome plug-in but i would much rather do it in GIMP than an app that i font really feel safe with.

It's called "Focus Blur". You can find it in Filters > Blur > Focus Blur. Adjust as needed. Attachment: focus-blur.jpg [ 372.93 KiB | Viewed 8663 times ] |

Racer-X : thank you .. but I dont have Filters > Blur > Focus Blur I even looked in distort even though it should be in blur I will have to search again and see if i can find that Chrome plug in to get the name they used Last time i looked i could not find it. Watch it pop right up now .. lol |

You have an older version of Gimp, I'm running Gimp 2.10.24 and Focus Blur is included. You can also use G'mic "Blur [Depth Of Field]" if you want. Attachment: blur2.jpg [ 272.52 KiB | Viewed 8657 times ] |

There's always the manual way, which is what I usually do for these things. Duplicate image layer and apply bur as desired, then use a mask to blur what you want. You can also use a gradient to get the progressive blur. |

The image i posted, if i remember correctly, was auto generated from an old chrome app/extension Of course it would be better having more control over the process. The youtube uses brightness/saturation and gaussian blur at different opacities in different areas. Interesting. Lots of experimenting to try Thank you |

@ Rich2005 : I will try the plug-in,.perhaps tomorrow , it's a bit late here to go down the rabbit hole tonight To all: I think i have to change over to the AppImage and not the installed version from the repo so that i am up to date. --and have lens-blur. It will probably correct issues with some of the other plugins / scripts as well thanks to everyone for the help |

The mint repo is behind, and otto's ppa is behind. How up to date is this one ? or is the AppImage fine . I have the AppImage working on another laptop and on the first run it asks to integrate with your system (basically to be the default) - and it seems to work fine there. Which do you think is best? i can try on the 'test' laptop first (lol) .. thank you for your help |

Sorry Thorsten The appimage from aferrero seems to be on the same path as he did not do anything from June 11 (June 10 for the GIMP's appimage) ![]() The continuous release stopped, and the stable is a previous version og GIMP > 2.10.22 and the dev GIMP is still at 2.99.3 when the actual version is at 2.99.6 https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-ap ... continuous and no one has any news (to my knowledge) Yes the appimage is awesome, if you don't plan to update/upgrade (as it seems to be at a stop), continue to use it ![]() On the other hand the PPA from ubuntuhandbook seems to be the most reliable for future updates (you do need to remove otto's ppa if you use this one) I'm using this PPA from 2.10.20, it upgraded automatically to 2.10.22 then 2.10.24 few days before GIMP put links on their website. > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/ ... buntu/gimp In the end, it's all about perspectives, your call, if you like your appimage, just stick with it, it's an awesome app ![]() Personally I'm a bit on the edge, so don't follow me if you like stability ![]() |

I would love to use the PPA - only minor snag might be that i am on Mint 19.3 - which is Ubuntu based and so close. but i think i am going to make a copy of my .config/GIMP/ before adding the PPA and then giving it a shot ![]() Thank you |
