Standard Blur wrapped in AlexaV3LogC in/out for more natural, highlight-safe softens.

Blur Log is a Blur node bookended by Colorspace to/from AlexaV3LogC. Channels, size, filter, quality, crop, and mix are linked through to the internal Blur.

Blurring in log avoids the harsh highlight bloom you get from linear blurs. Use for beauty softens and plate work that should feel photographic.
