Defocus
Defocus: blurs the image with a lens disc (bokeh): defocus is the disc's radius in pixels, aspect ratio squeezes it.
Defocus: blurs the image with a lens disc (bokeh): defocus is the disc's radius in pixels, aspect ratio squeezes it. Highlights bloom into soft-edged discs.

Nuke equivalent
Imports from and exports to Nuke's Defocus. The standard Nuke mask knobs (channels, mask, invert, (un)premult, mix) are mapped too.
Nuke knobs not in this list import as a knob of the same name, or are kept unchanged for export. See .nk import.
Examples

- Defocus on bright highlights (
examples/filter/defocus_hdr.oink): Defocus spreads each pixel into a disc, so bright values over 1 turn into bokeh. BrightRings.exr has rings above 1000: a Blur would smear them, Defocus keeps hard-edged discs.
Glow2
Glow2: makes bright areas glow — the parts above tolerance are blurred (size, filter, quality as Blur), tinted, saturated, scaled by brightness and added to the image.
VectorBlur2
VectorBlur: motion blur along motion vectors — every pixel is smeared along its u / v vector (uv channels) times motion amount (0.5), over the shutter set by motion offset (-0.5 centres it).
