Abstract
Methods and apparatus for specifying complex continuous gradients. A field blur tool may provide a user interface through which users may apply instances of a field blur pattern. The field blur tool allows the user to place one, two, or more pins over the image and to specify the blur amount (blur radius) at each field blur pin. A blur algorithm distributes the blur values for the one or more instances of the field blur pattern over the entire image, applying the blur according to the locations of the pin(s) and blur parameters at the pin(s). If the input indicates the location and the value for the blur radius of each of two or more instances of the field blur pattern, the two or more instances of the field blur pattern are combined in a blur mask by multiplying normalized radius fields of each of the instances.
