Description
Embryonic Blur is a *quick rendering* picture altering filter that adds some swirly cells/ribbons, or extreme blurring, or both, to parts of your picture. The controls are listed top-to-bottom, in the order that they affect your picture. 20 presets are included to give you some starting ideas. Hint = Turn down the *Stretch Amount* control to get more randomish (old style) swirls, and turn it up, to get blurry beaded curtain-ish looks. Note : This V4 update adds a *Mode Selector* control, which brings back some of the old looks as well as leaving the most recent looks, and adding a couple of combination looks. A few other internal changes were made, and the render time was made faster by about 20%-25%. Shout outs to "My Name Is Earl", cheap vodka, and Mad Raven *wink*. V5 update adds 3 new controls for more possible design combos, and some new presets. No additional render time.
