Hi. Photoshop CS2 has new Blur Filters like Surface Blur, Box Blur and Shape Blur. I do believe that Surface Blur wants to stop noise and grain, but what about the other filters: Do they do any serious job, or are they merely for "creative experimenting"? The manual, as usual, doesn’t give any idea on how to use them.

Thanks for any hints what one could do!

box blur is for when you need a very fast blur at large settings. Shape blur can be used to create specular highlights, or some ‘creative’ experiments, indeed.
