Median effect
The Median effect replaces each pixel with a pixel that has the median color value of neighboring pixels with the
specified Radius. At low Radius values, this effect is useful for reducing some types of noise. At higher Radius values,
this effect gives an image a painterly appearance.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.

Amount Of Noise The amount of noise to add.
Noise Type Use Color Noise adds random values to the red, green, and blue channels individually. Otherwise, the
same random value is added to all channels for each pixel.
Clipping Clips color channel values. Deselecting this option causes more apparent noise. This control does not work
in a 32-bpc project.
Noise Alpha effect
The Noise Alpha effect adds noise to the alpha channel.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
Noise The type of noise. Unique Random creates equal amounts of black and white noise. Squared Random creates
high-contrast noise. Uniform Animation creates animated noise, and Squared Animation creates animated high-
contrast noise.
