Motion Blur

Motion Blur adds life to your images by simulating movement. You can choose
between applying Camera Shake, which simulates the unintentional movement
when the camera is jiggled during shooting; Natural Motion, which copies the
movement occurring when the photographers follows a moving subject; Object,
which imitates the movement of an object in one direction; or Vibration, which
mimics the back and forth movement of vibration.
To apply Motion Blur:
1. Select Photo: Blur -Motion Blur.
2. Choose a motion type to apply.
3. Set the Moving Offset by entering a
value. The higher the value, the
farther the motion from the object.
4. In Angle, set the motion angle, to
give the movement its direction.
Note: When applying Motion Blur to a
selection area or object, selecting
Expand outside object enables
Motion Blur to extend beyond the
active selection.
5. Click OK.

Edge Preserving Blur

Edge Preserving Blur applies blur effects to an image or selection but retains the
sharpness of the edges. This filter works similarly like Blur, except that
neighboring pixels whose values are more than the given threshold will not be
blurred. Edge Preserving Blur is helpful in simplifying images with a lot of noise.
To apply Edge Preserving Blur:
1. Select Photo: Blur - Edge Preserving Blur.
2. Set the level of Edge preservation you want to apply. A higher value means a
higher threshold, resulting in sharper edges.
3. Specify the blur area by adjusting Radius. Then, set the blur's intensity by
adjusting Strength.
4. Click OK.
