Use the Live Gaussian Blur filter to add improved artistic blur effects to your image. Live Gaussian Blur leverages the power of the GPU and enables "live", painting of - on canvas blur effects that preview real-time, non-destructively without using the Smart Object workflow. Additionally, users will be able to interact with Photoshop outside the dialog with limited functionality, for example, change brush settings, pan, zoom, apply Layers Panel blend modes, opacity, and toggle layer visibility.

You can add or subtract and fine-tune the blur by brushing directly on the canvas, adjusting the blur amount, and fade opacity, and outputting the results to a new layer.

Go to Filter > Blur > Live Gaussian Blur

In this thread there is a recent reply from Amy Durocher (Adobe). She says:

"Thanks for your interest in the Live Gaussian Blur feature...we estimate Windows will be available towards the end of November/early December."

I wanted to update the community that we removed Live Gaussian Blur from the Beta build a few months back. We encountered issues on Windows that we were unable to resolve, so we are trying a different approach. The feature may come back in the future...

Have you tried Filter > Blur Gallery > Field Blur in the meantime? You'll want to make a copy or convert your image to a Smart Object first in case you want to make changes, bit Field Blur gives you unlimited control over blurring images.

Hello Amy,

I have just updated my PS to 24.2.0. I don't have the Beta version of the Gaussian Blur. Should I be able to see this?

And, how do I get it?

Thanks in advance,

Murray [editied by moderator]

Hi @Murray+Mary

Thank you for your question! We removed Live Gaussian Blur from Beta as we ran into performance and brushing issues on the latest Mac update.

Hallo, leider sehe ich den Live-Gaußscher Weichzeichner obwohl ich die Photoshop Beta version installiert habe. Ich bitte um Hilfe und Erklärung warum das so ist. Vielen Dank und viele Grüße, Barbara

Hi @Barbara27355239ftkx - pardon my English response. I used Google translate for your message (translation could be inaccurate). I believe you are reporting you don't see Live Gaussian Blur on your Ps Beta Build?
