More image edit functions (spot blur)

[MonkeyManx]

In my gallery I frequenty get people who ask me to blur out their face in the picture. It would be great if I could do it in the Coppermine Image Editor with GD2. Would this feature be useful to anyone else?  It seems like it wouldnt be that hard to blur out an oval in the picture.

I haven't checked in detail, but afaik there's no gaussian blur in GD available. Definitely is not easy, as a fool-proof DHTML control would be needed as well. I can see only a few people needing this, so I guess it should be done as a mod instead of going into the core code. Of course you're welcome to post a hack/contribution that can accomplish this, but I doubt a dev will be looking into this, so I'll flag this request as "turned down".
