Smart Blur applies a blur radius to each pixel using a threshold to determine where the blur should be applied. Its parameters are radius, threshold, quality (low, medium, high), and mode (normal, edge only, overlay edge).

Smart Blur works on 8 Bit, RGB, grayscale, CMYK, and Multichannel images, and Smart Objects. This filter launches another window with options.

Smart Blur is part of Adobe Photoshop’s Extended Filters.
