The Sharp Blur Script-Fu Script

Sharp Blur is a script for the GIMP Script-Fu. It is available for GIMP 1.0 (sharpblur-gimp-1.0.scm), for GIMP 1.2 (sharpblur-gimp-1.2.scm), and for GIMP 2.0 (sharpblur-gimp-2.0.scm).

Purpose

The purpose of this script is to blur an image while retaining its edges. While this may seem like a contradiction, it really is not: sharp edges get preserved while soft edges are discarded.

The main area of application for this script is the retouching of bad scans.

Example

This is an image of Laetitia Casta before Sharp Blur:
