Description
This filter creates a wind blur effect. In contrast to the bidirectional motion blur, wind blur is unidirectional, blurring and fading out along a user-defined vector.Wind Blur uses a loop architecture to approximate a bitmap smudge effect. 'Trail Density' controls the number of iterative steps that make up the blur. 'Trail Blur' can be used to further reduce step artifacts.Channel masks can be used to further constrain the blur. Use 'Show Mask' to view and 'Mask Threshold' to tweak them. Color Models are:(1) HLS, (2) HSB, (3) HSY, (4) Lab, (5) RGB.
