Lens Blur UI
The Lens Blur UI is composed of four tabs: Lens Blur, Modulation, Output,
and Masking.
The Lens Blur tab consists of a set of parameters for setting the main blur
effect, as well as controls to create bloom, flares, and halos.
To create the main blur effect, use the controls on the left side of the UI.
To: Use:
Set the amount of blur to apply in the direction of the X axis. X Radius
Set the amount of blur to apply in the direction of the Y axis. Y Radius
When enabled, changing the X Radius or the Y Radius causes the
other one to change in the same proportion. Link
Set the aberration. Setting the aberration parameter to greater
than 0 will make the radius different for each of the three color
planes, introducing color fringes. Aberration
Set the radial aberration. Setting the radial aberration greater than
0 will scale the image about the center differently for each color Radial Aberration
plane, producing color fringes that are offset radially, simulating
transverse aberration.
Select either regular polygon shapes or ellipses. Aperture Shape
Set the number of sides of the polygon blur shape. Number Sides
Set the rotation of the shape (in degrees). Rotation
Extend the blur outward from the edge of the polygon with an
exponential falloff curve. Softness is specified as a distance (the
same as the radius). Softness
Turn on and off the higher quality rendering of the polygon/ellipse
blur. Antialias
