12.6.1. Overview
图 17.266. Example for the “Fuzzy Border” filter
Original image
“Fuzzy Border” applied
This filter adds a cool fading border to an image. The border will look jagged and fuzzy, and you can specify color and thickness of the fading border. Optionally you may add a shadow to the image.
12.6.2. Activate the filter
You can find this filter in the image window menu through Filters → Decor → Fuzzy Border….

图 17.267. “Fuzzy Border” options
Color
Clicking on this button brings up the color selector dialog that allows you to choose the border color.
Border size
Here you can set the thickness of the fuzzy border, in pixels. Maximum is 300 pixels, regardless of the image width or height.
Blur border
If checked, the border will be blurred. The example below shows the effect of blurring:

“Blur” checked
“Blur” unchecked
图 17.269. “Blur border” zoomed (1600%)
“Blur” checked
“Blur” unchecked
Granularity
The border’s granularity is almost the size of pixel blocks spread to create the effect of a jagged and fuzzy border.

Granularity 1 (min)
Granularity 4 (default)
Granularity 16 (max)
Add shadow
If checked, the filter will also create a shadow at the border.
图 17.271. “Add shadow” example
“Add shadow” checked, shadow weight 100% (default shadow weight).
“Add shadow” with shadow weight 10%.
“Add shadow” unchecked (default)
Shadow weight
If Add shadow is checked, you may set the shadow opacity here. Defaults to 100% (full opacity).
Work on copy
If checked, the filter creates a new window containing a copy of the image with the filter applied. The original image remains unchanged.
Flatten image
If unchecked, the filter keeps the additional layers it used to create the border and the shadow (if demanded). Default is to merge down all layers.
