Blur
Original Image
Blur / Blur Simple Blur, Fast but not very strong
Blur / Gaussian BlurSimplest, most commonly used way of blurring
Blur / Motion BlurSimulate movement using directional blur
Blur / PixelizeSimplify image into an array of solid colored squares
Blur / Selective Gaussian BlurBlur neighboring pixels but only in low contract areas
Blur / Tileable BlurBlur the edges of an image so the result tiles seamlessly
Filters / Enhance:
Enhance / Anti-AliasAnti alias using the Scale 3X Edge Extrapolation Algorithm
Enhance / DeinterlaceFix images where every other row is missing
Enhance / DespeckleRemove Speckle noise from the image
htt p ://goldnuggetwebs.com/gimp-filters
Enhance / Destripe Remove vertical stripe artifacts from the image
