A Gaussian Blur is a general purpose blur filter. This removes fine image detail and noise leaving only larger scale changes. Gaussian Blurs produce a very pure smoothing effect without side effects.

| How it Works | |
|
|
|
A Gaussian Blur is distinct from other blurs in that it has a well defined effect on different levels of detail within an image. As the level of detail becomes smaller the filter lets through less and less. With other types of blur (e.g. Mean Filter) the amount let through may vary considerably. As well as having this well defined and consistent frequency
response, certain characteristics of the Gaussian function mean
that large blurs can be applied much faster than other similar
kinds of filters. |
