I'm not sure that this filter has any value for the users -- blurring with variable (and even mapped) radius is already supported in Photoshop.

Oh really? Well I'm still working with Photoshop 7.0 which doesn't have that function. And what about all the other programs that support photoshop plugins?

Yes, that function is called Lens Blur and it supports mapped radius (you can map the radius with a grayscale channel) and even custom kernels such as stars, n-gons, etc. However it is a lot slower than other blurs, because they can't use optimizations they use in simpler blurs.

Quasimondo - Before you go crazy looking for Lens Blur in version 7.0 of Photoshop...do know it was not in that version. I upgraded from 7.0 to CS2, so I am not 100% sure if CS even had Lens Blur included. The sceond part of Vlad's comment referd to a CS2 native plug-in called Shape Blur, fyi.

Cheers-

The photoshop implementation is pretty lame IMO. FF should really have a mask controlled blur built in, but until then Quas' done a great job.
