Photo - Field Blur Live Filter UI

[ronnyb]

There seems to be a mislabeling of the third slider, Selected Handle Power, which seems to do the opposite, as you increase the value of "power" for a specific handle, it's influence diminishes and the other handles' influence increases.

This tutorial video details it, I've cued it up to the spot where she shows it.

Thanks. It does look wrong to me too. I'll ask dev to take a look.

I've just had a reply from development and this current behaviour is by design. 

We use Shepard inverse distance weighting for the Field Blur. More info can be found here:

It was agreed that perhaps we could have used something other than a literal slider for this but I'll leave that with them. Cheers.

Hmmm, it seems more of a mislabeling the term then.... but from a UI/UX perspective, the slider does the opposite of what it's labeled... doesn't make sense....
