  101.       Contrary to the other blur plug-ins, the Selective Gaussian Blur plug-in
  102.       doesn't act on all pixels: blur is applied only if the difference
  103.       between its value and the value of the surrounding pixels is less than a
  104.       defined Delta value. So, contrasts are preserved because difference is
  105.       high on contrast limits. It is used to blur a background so that the
  106.       foreground subject will stand out better. This add a sense of depth to
  107.       the image with only a single operation.
