Contrary to the other blur plug-ins, the Selective Gaussian Blur plug-in doesn't act on all pixels: blur is applied only if the difference between its value and the value of the surrounding pixels is less than a defined Delta value. So, contrasts are preserved because difference is high on contrast limits. It is used to blur a background so that the foreground subject will stand out better. This add a sense of depth to the image with only a single operation.
These options are common to GEGL-based filters. Please refer to Afsnit 2, “Fælles funktioner”.
If there is another image on screen, you can select it as auxiliary input.
Here you can set the blur intensity, in pixels.
Here you can set the maximum difference (0-255) between the pixel value and the surrounding pixel values. Above this Delta, blur will not be applied to that pixel.
Dette filter kan resultere i et billede, som er større end det oprindelige. Med standardindstillingen for Justér vil lagets størrelse om nødvendigt automatisk blive ændret. Med indstillingen Klip vil resultatet blive klippet til lagets kanter.
