Need simple tools like blur, soften, etc. for specific purposes
I am trying to move to Capture One Pro entirely, but can't until certain specific requirements are met, most importantly:
There are many reasons to blur, or soften a region of a photo. Most importantly is to artisticly remove PII. License plates, street addresses, etc. This is a legal requirement in some circumstances, and it can be artistic so as to remove negative photo elements. Please seriously consider this enhancement. I truly want to make Capture One my workspace.

There is a feature request for adding blur. Go to https://captureone.ideas.aha.io, search for it, and cast your vote / add your comments.

Have you tried creating a layer with the desired areas masked (using a regular brush, not AI or Magic Brush), and then using a combination of reduced Contrast and/or Clarity, perhaps desaturating a bit, and reducing Sharpening? You can feather/refine the mask as desired and use the Opacity slider to blend the layer if desired. I find this works pretty well. Sometimes I'll also adjust Highlights/Shadows/Levels if the masked area needs those kinds of areas blended into surrounding areas.
