Study Notes
Blur Filters
- Radial Blur: Simulates zooming or rotating camera effects, creating soft blur; Spin option allows concentric blur lines with adjustable rotation.
- Shape Blur: Utilizes a specified kernel to achieve blurring effects.
- Smart Blur: Blurs while maintaining image detail; adjustable settings include radius, threshold, and quality.
- Surface Blur: Blurs images but preserves edges, useful for special effects and reducing noise.
Distort Filters
- Purpose: Geometrically distort images to create 3D effects or reshaping.
- Diffuse Glow: Highlights lighter areas using active background color, fading outward.
- Displace Filter: Employs a displacement map to define how to distort selected areas.
- Glass Effect: Simulates viewing through various types of glass.
- Twirl Effect: Creates sharper rotations at the center compared to edges.
- Wave: Shifts pixels in a wave-like pattern.
- ZigZag: Radially distorts selections based on pixel radius.
Noise Filters
- Types of Noise: Recognizing luminance noise and color noise is essential; each affects the quality differently.
- Reduce Noise: Powerful smoothing tool; key settings include Strength, Preserve Details, and Reduce Color Noise to balance clarity and detail.
- Median Filter: Effective in reducing noise while maintaining edges.
Filtering Guidelines
- Filters for 16-bit Images: Includes Liquify, Blur types (Average, Box, Gaussian, Motion, Radial), Lens Correction, Sharpening methods, and more.
- Filters for 32-bit Images: Limited to Blur types, Lens Flare, Smart Sharpen, and similar effects.
Blur Techniques
- Average Blur: Averages colors to create a smooth transition in images.
- Box Blur: Blurs based on the average color of neighboring pixels; larger radius enhances the blur effect.
- Lens Blur: Mimics narrow depth of field, keeping certain areas focused while blurring others.
- Motion Blur: Offers directional blurring defined by specified angles and intensity.
Using Filters
- Applications: Filters can refine photos, apply artistic effects, or create unique visual transformations with distortions and lighting.
Image Filtering Definitions
- Image Filtering: Changes pixel values and colors without altering pixel positions; image warping affects pixel positions without changing colors.
Thresholding in Filters
- Thresholding: Segments images by creating binary outcomes from grayscale images; replaces pixel values based on intensity relative to a threshold constant.
- Simple Thresholding: Applies the same threshold across all pixels; sets pixels to 0 or maximum based on intensity.
- Threshold Value: Sets boundaries for pixel states, influencing the filtering process.
Additional Guidelines
- Filter Application: Applies to the visible layer or selection; most filters can be cumulatively applied to 8-bit images but not to Bitmap or indexed-color images.
