Blur filters from RealWorld SDK

Log-in or register.

Blur image filters

Blur effect changes a pixel to another shape, typically a line or sphere. The actual shape of the line defines the subtype of a blur effect.

The blur filters can be used to modify photos or images and there are even scenarios, where blur effects are used when designing icons or cursors (look for example on the icons used for "Icon from Executable" or "Icon from Image" wizards in RW Icon Editor).

Full source code of these filters is available in the RealWorld Software Development Kit.

Installing the filters to RealWorld Icon Editor

Installation is a four-step process:

1. Download the installer

32-bit edition: RWBlurFilters32.msi

64-bit edition: RWBlurFilters64.msi

Important: Use 64-bit edition only if you have 64-bit edition of RealWorld Icon Editor.

2. Install the package

Launch the downloaded installer and follow the instructions.

3. Enable the plug-ins

Run "Manage Icon Editor" command from Windows Start menu. Click "Detect plug-ins" and check the plug-ins named "DocumentOperationSimpleBlurs", "DocumentOperationRadialBlur", and "BlurIcons".

4. Add filters to menu or toolbars

Note: The built-in "Customizing application" tutorial is recommended for better understanding of the following guide.

Premade commands for download:

The blur filters can be placed into any menu or toolbar. The following guide will place the effects into the second toolbar of the image editor window layout.

Start RealWorld Icon Editor and open any image. Open Windows Explorer and browse to the folder with the premade commands (download them above). Drag and drop the commands on the second toolbar.

Adding plug-ins into application toolbar using drag and drop.
Premade commands can be added to toolbars by dragging them from a file manager.

Adding commands using the described drag and drop method has its limitations. It is not always possible to add any command to any toolbar, sometimes the commands can be added but would not work as expected. The reason usually is the incompatiblity of document and commands (for example the blur commands will not work with 3D models). For complete control, use the Layout Configuration dialog and import the commands from there.

Compatibility

This plug-in pack is compatible with RealWorld Icon Editor 2006.2.
