What the script does is as follows:

  • Applies a screen composite of the image with itself
  • Blurs a copy of the screen composite image and adjusts its opacity
  • Deletes the original and applies a multiply composite of the
    screen and blurred screen composite images

This is equivalent to the following IM commands.

  • convert $infile \ \( -clone 0 -clone 0 -compose screen -composite -alpha set \) \
    \( -clone 1 -blur 0x$blur -alpha set -channel a -evaluate set $opacity% +channel \) \
    -delete 0 -compose multiply -composite \
    $outfile
