Dynamic Gaussian Blend
This effect blends a time-varying Gaussian Blur with the original image. Control blur intensity, opacity, and blend modes for soft focus, dynamic haze, or experimental transitions.

| Parameters: | |
| Size | Controls Gaussian blur intensity. Values up to 4.0 allowed for heavier blur. |
| Variation (Size) | Random, animated, or density-controlled blur fluctuations. Accepts values from -10.0 to 10.0. |
| Blend Mode | Choose how blurred image blends with original—overlay, lighten, darken, and more. |
| Opacity | Controls blending strength: 0.0 = base image, 1.0 = full blur. Range -20.0 to 20.0 for experimental results. |
| Variation (Opacity) | Time-based fluctuation of opacity for dynamic shifts between base, blended, and blurred layers. Values beyond 2.0 yield flash, inversion, and surreal effects. |

Small opacity fluctuations can cause glow or fade in bright regions, or flash/invert in darker ones. Experimenting with values beyond conventional range unlocks dynamic, expressive outcomes.
