Research direction

Open src/diffusers/image_processor.py and read VaeImageProcessor.blur() alongside nearby docstrings. Update the Args and Returns/description text to document blur_factor and accurately describe blurring, keeping the existing style and length. Done when the single-file docstring matches the method’s behavior and nearby documentation conventions.

Description

bug needs-code-example pipelines

VaeImageProcessor.blur()'s docstring is missing the blur_factor parameter entirely, and its
Returns/description text appears to be copy-pasted from a different method — it currently
describes converting an image to grayscale, not blurring it.

Location: src/diffusers/image_processor.py, VaeImageProcessor.blur(), around line 271.

Proposed fix: add the missing blur_factor entry to the Args section and correct the
description to accurately describe the blur behavior, matching the style of nearby docstrings
in the same file (1-3 sentences, no more).

I have a small, single-file fix ready and would like to open a PR for this if a maintainer can
confirm it's welcome — happy to follow whatever review process you prefer.
