44. A simple filter that averages the colors of neighboring pixels in sweeps defined by the radius value.






45. A loose collection of features that modify the existing color or luminosity of a pixel without replacing its content.






46. This panel lets you scale - rotate - and even flip the source image as you paint it onto the destination - as well as preview the source as a translucent overlay.
