oh so as a basic function, or event with a plugin, this thingie do not exist ?
That's what i was wondering, as it's something that can be done in PS.
OK for the script. Unfortunately i'm absolutely not able to code a plugin for
gimp, not knowing how it's done and
lacking of knowledge on the 'how to'.
Nevertheless, koko, i think you principle works from the center of the picture.
A selection on the upper rightmost half of the pic would not give the expected
result. Your idea would look like the zoom blur wich is done from the image
center as blur center ( i think ). But it should work with taking each selection
island center ant iterate zoom blur through them....
