    radius
    Defines the neighborhood to be considered for each pixel.
    Remarks
    This method makes images look softer and out of focus.

    The radius parameter corresponds to the Standard Deviation (Sigma) in Gaussian transform. It can range from 0.1 to 500. Typical values for high-resolution images range from 1.0 to 2.0. Larger values will cause greater softening. On the other hand, smaller values are faster. The width of the area considered for each pixel is approximately 6 * radius.

    The method only blurs color channels of the image. If the image contains Alpha or Extra channels, the method does not blur them.
