Gaussian Blend
The Gaussian Blend filter blurs an image and blends it with the original. This is a powerful technique used for soft film-like effects, glow, fog, and many other creative results using blend modes and opacity control.
| Parameters: | |
| Size | Controls blur power. Default is 1.0; values up to 4.0 increase blur, slightly lowering quality. |
| Blend Mode | Select from a wide range of blending modes to achieve various stylistic effects. |
| Opacity | Adjusts opacity from 0.0 (original image) to 1.0 (fully blended). Values between 1.0–2.0 mix blur and blend; extended range (-20.0 to 20.0) produces experimental effects. |
Color channel blending: selectively blur specific color channels or color elements for more precise visual styling.
Extended opacity modes: enter values beyond 0.0–2.0 for unusual and creative blending styles.
