Hi all.
I've been meaning for a while to create a slider that adjusts the blurriness of an image. It sprung out of another project I was doing that led my brain down its own private rabbit holes & I honestly don't have a use case for it, but I'm more interested in 'Can I' than 'Why should I'.
Here's what I came up with: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/b4882a12-0ab5-4512-ad39-c16916c52092/review
It's not pretty, I didn't do much to it other than the interaction itself, but it let me know that it can be done. It works very simply. The base layer is just the background image, and I have a new layer that has a blurry image that covers the whole slide, which is triggered to pause as soon as it starts. The blur image has a slow fade (5 seconds). The slider is tied to a number of triggers - every increment change of one jumps .1 seconds on the timeline of the layer. My concern going in was whether the transition would be smooth or not, but honestly I'm happy with the way it looks...I just have to find an applicable use for it.

Hi Nate,
that is a great idea. I must try this out myself - I don't have a use case myself, but who knows what the future brings? Thanks for the direction!
