Hi all:

     Being a bit upset with the ultrabright artifacts produced by focal
blur while doing some HDRI tests, and after failing to alleviate them 
with insane amounts of blur_samples, confidence and variance, I decided 
to take my first look ever to the source code....

     I was sure to be wasting my time looking at something I will not
understand, but surprisingly, I found really quickly a call to
Clip_Colour() commented out on render.cpp, inside the focal_blur()
function. I restored that line back and just compiled again... you have 
the results posted on p.b.i: both images where rendered using 35 blur 
samples.

     I think I will be using this for scenes with extreme artifacts, 
while waiting for MegaPOV 1.2... ;) (I still prefer the unclipped 
version when there are not many artifacts visible, of course).
