Hello,

Is there a 64bit version availale for the same. I am using Win10, Gimp 2.8.2. ?

Rod,

I believe you do not have a 64bit environment, as I have read from another of your post. Can anybody else help?

Thanks

32-bit plug-ins will work just as well with 64-bit environments.
However,
this is not the opposite case,
when it comes to 32-bit environments.

It has already been done. see: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7954#p103101

You need an extra dll to go with it

libfftw3f-3.dll which you can get from: http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html

The 64 bit zip contains several files but the one above is all that is needed.

Put the focusblur and libfftw3f-3.dll in your Gimp profile plug-ins folder. The filter shows up in the Filters -> Blur menu.

In Win10 (VM) looks like this with everything showing.

There are also one or two flters in the gmic plugin http://www.gmic.eu In the testing section: Tom Keil DoF / garagecoder depth blur (edit) and another in degradations - blur depth of field

Really all you needed to do was place the focus blur executable in its own folder inside the plug-ins folder and point Edit>Pref>Folders>Plug-ins to it. Do this with any dll error. :bigthup
As the pixbuf dll is found here C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\bin

Is there a specific interesting use of this special blur?
Just tried it (using the image itself as depth map), it runs very slowly and blurs almost everything.
Is there a mini-tut for its use?

Focus Blur plug-in is blurring effect, a kind of called DoF. This software makes a out of focus with luminosity and depth, like a sight or lenses. It can be used with depth map, depth fakes and shine effect. Also it can work as simple and applicable blur.

I've tried to apply B&W masks but no reasonable result.

I have used the plugin in the past, but it is from a earlier time when images were smaller. It is very slow on a larger image.

The gmic degradation Blur(depth-of-field) is worth a try if you need a dof effect.

The default with 2 zones works well or this, the alternative using a mask - a radial black-to-white gradient followed by painting in the foreground.

Thanks Rich, you confirm the detected slowness, and thus I will not use it (I could use it ONLY if a VERY INTERESTING effect could be easily obtained).

They are not missing. You simply need to place the focus blur plugin in its own folder INSIDE the plug-ins folder and direct GIMP to it with Edit>Preferences>Folders>Plug-ins>YourFolderName

Then restart GIMP.
