Diffuse - v1.2,  © 2004 Richard Rosenman Advertising & Design. Release date: 05/01/03, Updated 06/12/04.


INSTALLATION:

Simply unzip "diffuse.zip" and copy "diffuse.8bf" to your "\Photoshop\Plug-Ins\" folder, or whichever plugin folder your host program uses. Load your program, open an image, go to the plugins menu and select the plugin.


DESCRIPTION:


This filter will generate varying types of diffusion effects on your image.


R,G,B Amount:  These sliders control the amount of diffusion introduced. When "Lock RGB" is selected, only the "R Amount" will be active since the red, green and blue channels are all displaced equally.

Mix: This slider controls the amount of the diffused image to be mixed with the source image.

Min, Max: These sliders control the minimum and maximum pixel ranges to diffuse. Only pixels with intensity values lying within this range will be displaced.

Diffuse by Amounts: This will diffuse the image according to the amounts specified by the R,G,B Amount sliders.

Diffuse by Brights: This will diffuse the image according to pixel brightness. The brighter the area, the more displacement occurs.

Diffuse by Darks: This will diffuse the image according to pixel darkness. The darker the area, the more displacement occurs.

Diffuse by Horiz: This will diffuse the image only horizontally.

Diffuse by Vert: This will diffuse the image only verically.

R,G,B: These options specify which color channels to output.

Lock G,B to R: This option locks the G,B Amount to R Amount.

Lock RGB: This locks R,G,B channels together so that pixels are displaced instead of color channels. When deselected, each pixel's red, green and blue channels are independently displaced.

Realtime: Applies all effects (in realtime) on 'mouse drag' instead of on 'mouse release'.
