Hey Figma team,
The progressive blur update was 🔥. I’m guessing the implementation uses a linear grayscale gradient (limited to two color points) as a blur map to control the effect. If that’s the case, adding radial progressive blur shouldn’t be too hard.
Also, if you’re considering custom blur maps, it would be awesome to let users control crop/fill/fit/tile of the blur map, just like the regular image editing options. Plus, a toggle to switch between blur map input vs. blur map output would make experimenting way more intuitive.
This could give designers way more flexibility and open up a ton of creative possibilities.
Thanks for considering!
