3.3. Mean Curvature Blur

3.3. Mean Curvature Blur
	3. Filtre til sløring

3.3.1. Overview

Regularize geometry at a speed proportional to the local mean curvature value: this filter uses the mean curvature algorithm to blur the image preserving edges.

Mean Curvature algorithm is describes in Wikipedia

3.3.2. Activate the filter

You can find this filter in the image menu under Filters → Blur → Mean Curvature Blur…

3.3.3. Indstillinger

Figur 17.12. “Mean Curvature Blur” filter parameters

Presets, Preview, Split view: These options are common to GEGL-based filters. Please refer to Afsnit 2, “Fælles funktioner”.
Iterations: Increasing Iterations increases blur.
Clipping: Dette filter kan resultere i et billede, som er større end det oprindelige. Med standardindstillingen for Justér vil lagets størrelse om nødvendigt automatisk blive ændret. Med indstillingen Klip vil resultatet blive klippet til lagets kanter.
