Simply use the brush tool to apply light or heavy amounts of blur effect to any portion of your photo - foreground, background and mid-ground. Adjust the brush size and intensity. And select from a number of brush shapes from the editor for fine picture control. Vasoline Lens is inspired by soft focus, a lens flaw, in which the lens forms images that are blurred. To recreate this effect people would smear petroleum jelly on a clear filter or on the front element or even the back element of the lens itself. Messy times!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Vasoline Lens at Free against PsyCam's $2.99. Vasoline Lens also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 30 months). PsyCam's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
