[What Blur Lets Me Define the Radius of the Central UNBLURRED Part?]

Hello @WPMarketingComms and welcome to the forum  

 

One that springs to mind is Alpha Blur:  

 

The plugin package looks great, and the examples look helpful -- downloaded, installed, see your version in my menu...but nothing seems to happen when I start changing the values. I tried it both with the image as opened, and with the select tool. Nada. Am I missing some nuance here?

 

Thanks!!

I could swear I've successfully done this in the past, but I can't seem to make any of the current blur options do this. Essentially, I want to create the soft focus effect of a wide aperture photo (if I'm remembering my photog 101 correctly), such that I have a defined central area of focus, and then the blur extends out from there.

Like, does one of the tools create a donut effect of blur outside the variable inner ring?

 

Thanks.
