A lack of sharpness in an image. Unintentional blur often the result of improper focus, camera shake or motion at slow shutter speed. Elements in a photograph can also be blurred for artistic effect by using the above techniques intentionally, by tracking a moving subject against its background, or by adjusting the camera’s aperture setting to decrease depth of field. See also APERTURE, DEPTH OF FIELD.
Unsharpness because of the movement of the camera or subject during exposure. Blur can be used for many creative effects. In computer imaging, the use of Blur controls to selectively soften parts of the image.
a filter which averages together pixels to minimize subtle frame-to-frame differences. Normally, you will get better results with the Adaptive Noise Reduction filter.
un-sharp image areas, created or caused by camera or subject movement or by improper focus. Understanding Focus
Generic term for image manipulations that reduce the sharpness of an image or reduce the definition of an image's outlines. Image processing programs offer a wide selection of blur filters, the best-known of which is the Gaussian blur.
This option is available from the Image Menu and used mostly for special effects. Opposite of sharpen, blur has an un-focusing effect on the image.
A type of filter that softens an image, making it looked blurred. A gaussian average can be used to reduce detail and create a hazy effect.
an effect that occurs when the camera is out of focus
A lack of sharpness in the image caused by resampling, a missed focus, or by camera or subject movement during a slow shutter speed.
An area of an image which is not in focus and will appear with less defined details and will have a more soft touch than it actually has in real life.
filter which averages pixels together to soften the image, and can be used to minimize subtle frame-to-frame differences. Normally when compressing movies, you will get better results with Media Cleaner's Adaptive Noise Reduction filter.
blur the image with a gaussian operator
The softening of image detail. Blurring of an image is usually accomplished through software averaging of pixel values to soften edge detail.
unsharp image areas, created or caused by subject or camera movement, or by selective or inaccurate focusing.
Denotes a photograph in which movement, either camera movement, zoom lens movement or movement within the scene (e.g. a subject in motion), is recorded at a slower shutter speed than is necessary to "freeze" the motion as a sharp image. Blur is often intentionally created by a photographer who wishes to convey a sense of motion.
A photographic effect, either intentional or unintentional, that produces an picture with a loss of image sharpness.
The art of softening the detail of a image. The process can be applied selectively to portions of an image.
