Gaussian Blur

Use the Gaussian Blur enhancement to
dramatically reduce the appearance of
detail through the image. This enhance-
ment is often used selectively to reduce
the visual impact of objects or areas
within an image in order to draw the
viewer's eye away from that object or
area. Alternatively, you can use it to
add a smoothing effect, such as on skin
tones, by adjusting the Opacity Slider
within this enhancement.
Use the Radius and Opacity sliders to
control the result of the Gaussian Blur
enhancement.
RADIUS
The Radius slider controls the intensity
of the blur being applied to the image.
OPACITY
The Opacity slider blends the Gaussian
blur with the details in the image to
provide you control over the balance of
detail and the blur effect. Combining a
high radius with a low opacity creates
a hazy, soft-focus effect, while combin-
ing a low radius with a medium opacity
produces a dream-like mood.
Simply click OK to accept the Gaussian
Blur effect, or click cancel to prevent
this enhancement from affecting your
image.

High Pass

The High Pass feature attempts to block
all image details, apart from those
details that contain very strong edge
definitions. This results in a neutral gray
image with only the edges of the origi-
nal image appearing. This enhancement
is often used with the Opacity Mixer set
to Luminance and Chrominance mode,
with only the Opacity (Chrominance)
set to 0% and the Blending Mode set
to Overlay. Using the High Pass feature
in this way can enable you to control
the contrast of objects, or increase the
apparent level of detail, depending on
the Radius slider setting.
