Example for the Value Propagate filter

Filter Value Propagate applied


This filter works on color borders. It spreads pixels that differ in a specified way from their neighboring pixels.

5.13.2. Activating the Filter

This filter is found in the main menu under FiltersDistortsValue Propagate….

5.13.3. Options

Obrázek 17.82. Value propagate filter options

„Value propagate“ filter options

Presets, Input Type, Clipping, Blending Options, Preview, Merge filter, Split view
[Poznámka] Poznámka

These options are described in 2 – „Common Features“.

Mode

The examples will be about the following image:

Více bílé

Pixely se rozšiřují od vyšší hodnoty k nižší hodnotě. Rozšíří se tak jasné oblasti.

Obrázek 17.83. Více bílé

Více bílé

Bright pixels have been propagated to dark pixels in the four directions: top, bottom, right and left. Filter applied several times to increase effect.


Více černé

Pixely se rozšiřují od nižší hodnoty k vyšší hodnotě. Rozšíří se tak tmavé oblasti.

Více černé

Obrázek 17.85. To bottom only

To bottom only

The same as above with To bottom direction only checked.


Střední hodnota do špiček

Na hranici mezi zvolenými prahy barvy splývají.

Obrázek 17.86. Střední hodnota do špiček

Střední hodnota do špiček

A thin border with a transitional color has been added to objects. It is not visible around objects with smoothed borders.

Střední hodnota do špiček

Green area zoomed x800. A thin border (one pixel wide) has been added. Its value is the average between gray (90%) and green (78%): (90 + 78) / 2 = 84.


Color to peaks

Rozšířené oblasti jsou vyplněny barvou popředí.

A color selector opens, with a color picker.

Obrázek 17.87. Color to peaks

Color to peaks

In this example, the selected color is Red. A thin border, one pixel wide, red, is added around objects. With smoothed objects, this border is located at the furthest limit of smoothing. Here, another border appears inside. This is an artifact due to the small size of the object which makes the smoothing area of opposite sides to overlap.


Only color

Only areas with the selected color will propagate. With this option, soft and fuzzy edges don't propagate well.

Only color

In this example, the selected color is that of the green object. After applying filter several times, the green area is clearly enlarged.


More opaque, More transparent

These commands work like More white and More black. Opaque (transparent) areas will be propagated over less opaque (transparent) areas. These commands need an image with an alpha channel.

More opaque

Original layer, with a transparent background.

More opaque

Filter applied several times: the green, opaque, area got increased.


Lower threshold, Upper threshold

A pixel will be propagated (spread) if the difference in value between the pixel and its neighbor is no smaller than the lower threshold and no larger than the upper threshold.

Poměr rozšíření

Poměr rozšíření: Velikost rozšíření. Čím vyšší, tím barevnější rozšíření.

To top, To left, To right, To bottom

Směr rozšíření: Zde lze zvolit jeden či více směrů.

Rozšíření v kanálu hodnot

If checked, the pixel's color channels (gray channel on grayscaled images) will be propagated. The option is checked by default, of course.

Propagating alpha channel

If checked, the pixel alpha value will be propagated, otherwise the pixel will get the alpha of the neighboring pixels.
