seen in Adobe products though never versions of Photoshop may now
include Selective Guassian Blur.
When I first tried this filter I thought it'd crashed my computer. It's
the most CPU intensive effect I've seen and can take 15 minutes to run
on an 8 megapixel file. As you can see it can also produce a unique
effect. It's worth the wait.
Trial an error is not easy with this effect. It looks at the contrast of
surround pixels then blurs based on a set threshold level. It can work
wonders with portraits if used well. This was one of my early experiments.
