For what it's worth, in all the native English I've spoken, "flattering" 
isn't always derogatory. A "flatterer" is one who is doing what the 
above definition says. But "being flattered" or "I'm flattered" or "that 
dress flatters you" are all compliments.

And, on topic, am I the only one that thinks most of the uses I see of 
focal blur are over-the-top? It's so distracting it ruins the picture 
sometimes. Maybe just a bit would work out better.  Or, as I said, is it 
just me?
