2.4. Gaussian Blur (RLE)

Overview

This filter is found in Image>Filters/Blur/Gaussian Blur (RLE)

The RLE Gaussian Blur plug-in acts on each pixel of the active layer or selection, setting its value to the mean of all pixel values present in a radius defined in the dialog. A higher value will produce a higher amount of blur. The blur can be set to act in one direction more than the other by clicking the Chain Button so that it is broken, and altering the radii. It is well adapted to computer generated images with large areas of the same color and abrupt transitions.

By altering the ratio of horizontal to vertical blur, you can give the effect of a motion blur. You can choose the unit with the drop list.
