Radial Blur
This filter creates a rotational blur centered on a point. The effect is similar to the
motion blur you would see if an image was spinning quickly.
Parameters in the Inspector
Center: Sets the position of the center of the radial blur.
Angle: Sets the angle of rotation of the blur.
Subsampling: Sets the number of samples.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Angle and Subsampling controls.
Soft Focus
This filter creates an effect that’s similar to duplicating an object, using the Screen
blend mode to composite it against itself, and then blurring one of the overlapping
objects. The advantage of this filter is that you can do this all within a single filter. The
Strength parameter controls how much of the blurred image is added back to the
original image, while other sliders let you control the overall, horizontal, and vertical
amount of blur.
Parameters in the Inspector
Amount: Sets the radius of the blur. Values range from 0 (no blur) to 32.
Strength: Sets the amount of opacity of the blurred composite. Values range from 0 to 1.
Horizontal: Sets the percentage of the maximum horizontal blur.
Vertical: Sets the percentage of the maximum vertical blur.
Crop: Sets whether or not the object is cropped at its original boundaries.
