Using Filters
MinMax
This filter softly patterns an image by averaging pixels within the specified radius
together by the minimum or maximum color values present in the image. The result is
to erode or dilate the light or dark areas of your object into soft, blocky regions.
Parameters in the Inspector
Mode: Sets the mode of the minmax. The following modes are available: minimum
and maximum.
Radius: Sets the radius of the minmax. Values range from 0 to 100.
Dashboard control
The Dashboard contains the Mode and Radius controls.
Noise Dissolve
Dissolves an object by adding a pattern of black noise to it. Raising the value of the
Dissolve Amount parameter gradually eats away at more and more of the image. The
alpha channel is set to zero within the noisy areas, so background images are revealed
as the Dissolve Amount increases.
