HTML5 Canvas Blur Image Filter Tutorial

To apply filter to an Konva.Image, we have to cache it first with cache()
function. Then apply filter with filters() function.

To blur an image with Konva, we can use the Konva.Filters.Blur filter
and set the blur amount with the blurRadius property.

Instructions: Slide the control to adjust the blur radius.

For all available filters go to Filters Documentation.
