That’s because the filter is enabled for this preset but not used. You’ll see from the panel, though, that the Blur Strength is set to zero. You can create a circular blur towards the edges of the picture, which is what’s used here, or a horizontal blur to create a tilt-shift ‘miniature’ effect. It’s not strictly the same thing, but Analog Efex Pro uses ‘bokeh’ to describe its controlled blur/defocus effects. You can use Control Points to mask the effect in parts of the image you want left unaltered. At the bottom you’ll see and expandable Control Points section. This combines a kind of HDR and structure effect to bring out details in the shadows and make objects stand out clearly. The Detail Extraction slider at the top is interesting, though. You use it to tune the basics: Brightness, Contrast and Saturation. This panel is standard in just about all Analog Efex Pro presets. I’ll explain each one individually, how it works and the effect it has on the photo. These tools and their settings are in the right sidebar. It’s applied to the image with a single click, but this preset actually uses several Analog Efex Pro tools in combination. The one I’ve chosen for this walkthrough is ‘Double Exposure 2’. If you select this you’ll see a list of preset double exposure effects in the sidebar. In the left sidebar you’ll see a choice of different ‘Cameras’, and one of these is ‘Double Exposure’. You can launch Analog Efex Pro as a standalone program, as an external editor for Capture One and other programs, or as a plug-in for Lightroom or Photoshop.
