These controls determine the amount of shake that is applied to the image along the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) axis. Values between 0.0 and 1.0 are permitted. A value of 1.0 generates shake positions anywhere within the boundaries of the image.

This determines the amount of shake that is applied to the rotational axis. Values between 0.0 and 1.0 are permitted.

Higher values in this control cause the movement of the shake to be more irregular or random. Smaller values cause the movement to be more predictable.

This adjusts the general amplitude of all the parameters and blends that affect in and out. A value of 1.0 applies the effect as described by the remainder of the controls.

Speed controls the frequency, or rate, of the shake.

This selects the overall shape of the shake. Available frequencies are Sine, Rectified Sine and Square Wave. A Square Wave will generate a much more mechanical looking motion than a Sine.

This determines how the Edges of the image are treated.

This causes the edges that are revealed by the shake to be black.

This causes the edges to wrap around (the top is wrapped to the bottom, the left is wrapped to the right, etc.).

This causes the Edges to be duplicated causing a slight smearing effect at the edges.

Select this control to Invert any position, rotation or scaling transformation. This option might be useful to exactly removing the motion produced in an upstream Camera Shake.

The Flatten Transform option prevents this tool from concatenating its transformation with adjacent tools. The tool may still concatenate transforms from its input but it will not concatenate its transformation with the tool at its output. See the Transformations chapter earlier in this manual for details on concatenated transformation.

Filter Modes

This skips or duplicates pixels as needed. This produces the fastest but crudest results.

This is a simple interpolation resize of the image.

This uses a simplistic filter, which produces relatively clean and fast results.

This filter produces a nominal result. It offers a good compromise between speed and quality.

This produces better results with continuous tone images but is slower than Bi-Cubic. If the images have fine detail in them, the results may be blurrier than desired.

This produces good results with continuous tone images which are resized down. Produces sharp results with finely detailed images.

This is very similar in speed and quality to Bi-Cubic.

This is similar to Catmull-Rom but produces better results with finely detailed images. It is slower than Catmull-Rom.

This is very similar to Mitchell and Catmull-Rom but is a little cleaner and also slower.

This is an advanced filter that produces very sharp, detailed results, however, it may produce visible `ringing' in some situations.

This is similar to the Sinc filter but may be slightly faster.

Some filters, such as Sinc and Bessel, require an infinite number of pixels to calculate exactly. To speed up this operation, a windowing function is used to approximate the filter and limit the number of pixels required. This control appears when a filter that requires windowing is selected.

This is a simple tapered window.

Hamming is a slightly tweaked version of Hanning.

A window with a more sharply tapered falloff.

A more complex window, with results between Hamming and Blackman.
