3.7.2. Options

Figure 17.23. “Circular Motion Blur” filter options

Presets, Preview, Split view

These options are common to GEGL-based filters. Please refer to Section 2, “Common Features”.

Center X, Center Y

Here, you can set the rotation center. Sliders and spin buttons control the position of rotation center on horizontal and vertical axis. You can also click on the rectangle button with an arrow on the right and then click on the image to pick coordinates.

Angle

More Angle will result in more blurring in a circular direction.

Clipping

The result of this filter can be larger than the original image. With the default Adjust option, the layer will be automatically resized as necessary when the filter is applied. With the Clip option the result will be clipped to the layer boundary.

On-canvas controls

This option (default) allows you to modify blur settings directly on canvas, for easier visual tweaking of blur settings. It displays a line with handle on both ends to move rotation center and transform.

Press Alt key to only move rotation center without transforming.

Press Ctrl key to rotate by 15° steps.
