Ideas for using the effect

Depth-driven focus

Use a grayscale map to keep subjects sharp while blurring backgrounds.

Dreamy diffusion

Push highlights and soften midtones for a glow-like, ethereal look.

Texture-guided blur

Use paper scans, paint, or noise to create organic blur patterns.

Tilt-shift style

Paint a focus band to simulate miniature or diorama looks.

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.
