reck got a reaction from CurranJSmith in What's the easiest way to apply a blur around the edge of an image?
Let's say I have a portrait and I want to apply a Gaussian blur around the the edges of the image but leave the face un-blurred, how would I do this? Ideally i'm looking for something like the vignette tool where I can change the shape, size and intensity of the effect but instead of applying shadow it's applying the blur. Is there such a tool in AP?

reck got a reaction from Patrick Connor in [APh] Please enable the compare tools (splitview\mirror) for live filters
You've created this great compare feature called splitview which is a tremendous help when altering the parameters of a filter as it gives you live feedback as the settings change. The problem? It only works with the "old" method of adding filters and not the live filters.
The way AP works at the moment it means you have to either miss out on live filters or miss out on the compare features when applying filters. Please enable splitview and mirror compare options for the live filters so we don't have to miss out.
Thanks

reck got a reaction from Richard S. in Why do live filters not have split\mirror previews
I notice that there are 2 ways to apply filters. The first via the filter menu and the second via the layers->live filter option. The live filters is a nice idea but there's no way to preview and compare the changes using split\mirror view like you can by applying it via the filters menu.
I find the split view incredibly useful when i'm initially applying the filter but then I find the the option of having a live filter useful later on when I can come back and adjust. It's a shame that split view isn't available with the live filter option and you're forced to miss out on one or the other. Could split\mirror options be added to the live filters?
At the moment I have to use the filter menu to apply the filter using split\mirror view, then record the settings, delete the filter and then apply the same filter via the live filter using the setting I recorded earlier. I obviously don't want to keep applying filters twice so can this be improved in any way?
It begs the question why can you apply the same filters in two different ways like this? If the comparing option could be added to the live filters why would you ever apply a filter using the filter menu?
