Frequently Asked Questions
What is Texture Blur?
Texture Blur is a bokeh blur that uses a custom texture map to control how much each pixel is blurred.
What kind of texture should I use?
Grayscale maps work best. Dark areas stay sharper, bright areas blur more. You can also use paper scans or noise for stylized blur.
Can I adjust how the map is applied?
Yes. You can scale, tile, or stretch the texture and reshape it with a curve for more control.
Does it work on videos?
Yes. Texture Blur runs in real time on both images and videos.
Can I combine it with other effects?
Absolutely. It pairs well with color grading, grain, vignette, and distortion effects.
