Smart blur equivalent

[Juan]

Hi all,

I there a PL alternative for Photoshop´s Smart blur?

Taken from PS online help:
Smart Blur
Blurs an image with precision. You can specify a radius, a threshold, and a blur quality. The Radius value determines the size of the area searched for dissimilar pixels. The Threshold value determines how dissimilar the pixels must be before they are affected. You also can set a mode for the entire selection (Normal) or for the edges of color transitions (Edge Only and Overlay Edge). Where significant contrast occurs, Edge Only applies black-and-white edges, and Overlay Edge applies white.

Here the complete link:

"Adaptive Soften" should be similar, but it doesn't have the edge modes. I guess that one could replace the edge modes by using an Adaptive Soften adjustment layer with a layer mode such as "Divide" or "Difference" + some kind of greyscale conversion.

Sorry for the late reply, thanks for the tip, I used a free plugin to extract the edges and then used Adaptive soften.
