It leaves the colour-inverted, vivid-light layer as the active layer, ready to apply selective gaussian blur.
That's cool, thank you
For people reading this, the Gaussian Blur might not the best to use in this case, but the Selective Gaussian Blur or even the Median Blur are good to use for this technique.
Optional (but it's not live) it's to use the G’MIC Repair > Smooth [bilateral] which resemble to the Photoshop's Surface Blur, but you will see the result AFTER using G'MIC...
Just to let you know
