Any way to have UIBlurEffectView ignor views below it?

Is there any way to have a UIBlurEffectView ignore views underneath it?

More than just masking it. Mask of a view below it, it'll still process that view and you'll still see a "halo" around the edge. Ideally I'd like to have a view 'below' the blur, mask it, and also not have the view be processed in the blur.

No, there is no way to ignore individual views. Sometimes you can rearrange your hierarchy to get what you want though, but its difficult to explain what you might try in the abstract (like on a forum) unfortunately.
