I'm creating an application that presents users with a blurred image and a clear circle that they move around with the mouse. Below is a screenshot. I do this by maintaining two versions of the image, one blurred and one clear. I draw the blurred image to the screen and then create a clipping path and draw the clear image to the screen within the clipping path. By moving the clipping path around I can move the clear part around. Java is very fast and very smooth.
The problem is that this creates a hard edge between the two pictures, and I need a softer transition. Is there a way to do a softer clipping path, or define a transparency mask that would blend the blurred and clear image at various proportions at the edges to create a smooth transition? The kicker is that I need it to be very fast, on the order of 20 fps or faster.
Thanks,
Tom
