Edge-Aware Blur
Method #
This node blurs the image, but attempts to preserve harsh edges by only blurring areas of similar colour.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Active
Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.
Blend Amount
Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Affected Channels
Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.
Sharpness
Changes how much of the image is sharpened. Higher values retain more details from the original image, lower values blur more of the image.
