[thelist] [Photoshop] Simulating Bad Vision

[T--]

Did you try the Photoshop "Blurred Vision" filter?  Sorry couldn't resist.
(Actually, I would think that someone somewhere has actually created such a
filter.)

I was curious, so I Googled "blurred vision simulations" and also "photoshop
filters blurred vision".  I am sorry to report that my 21K connection has
caused me to abort any further research.  *sigh*

Not sure how much this will help (for ideas), but found this in a Google
search:

Blurred Vision - Gimp's Blur Filters (Graphics Muse). Michael J. Hammel has
written a Graphics Muse tutorial
(http://www.graphics-muse.com/graphics-cgi/gmGimp.pl/gimp/tutorials/2000/21/tutorial.html)
on how to use the various blur filters that will be packaged with gimp 1.2.
"Pixelize does to an image what a bottle of tequila does to your head -
makes things all blocky. Technically, pixelize is a low pass filter that
operates on the color components of a region bounded by the width specified
that is centered on the current pixel."

Here is a page with blurred vision simulation photos.  If this is what you
had in mind, perhaps an email to the webmaster of the site?
