Blur Filters

For color

The Blur filters eliminate noise in the parts of the image

where significant color transitions occur. The Blur filters
pages
decrease the contrast between adjacent pixels, making the
image appear hazy and out of focus.
• Blur smooths out the transitions by lightening pixels next to
the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas.
• Blur More produces an effect three or four times stronger
than Blur.

Sharpen Filters

The Sharpen filters do the opposite of the Blur filters and
increase the contrast of adjacent pixels, making images
appear sharper and more focused.
Both Sharpen and Sharpen More filters improve clarity. The
Sharpen More filter has a stronger sharpening effect than the
Sharpen filter.
