Softens the focus of selected pixels.

Blur More

Radial Blur

Zoom Blur
Creates the appearance that the image is moving toward or away from the viewer. Requires Amount and Quality values. An increase in quality results in a blur effect with fewer repetitions of the original image. An increase in amount results in a stronger blur effect.
