However it's more similar to a PS smart blur filter, and surface blur filter provides better result (the difference is that surface blur reduces noise smoother than smart blur or selective blur in GIMP, which (it's about selective or smart blur) simply blurs some pixels so some are left unchanged). Maybe there isn't the same filter available in GIMP, but I hope Selective blur will be a very useful filter for me :)
