Smoothing Filters

The smoothing filter category includes filters that average the intensity values in the surroundings of a pixel. The result is that extreme intensity values and static noise disappear. At the same time, however, intensity differences that contain image information will be flattened. The effect of this, is that the resulting image appears fuzzy because of the filtering.

In the Process > Smoothing Filters menu, you will find the following filters:

Sigma

Median

Rank

Lowpass

NxN
