Wind options
Strength
Determines how strong the wind lines are in the image. The higher the value, the stronger the wind
lines.
Threshold
Determines how sharp an edge must be before the filter will apply wind. The higher the value, the
sharper the edge needs to be.
Chance of wind
Determines the amount of wind lines to place in the image.
Edge detection
Specifies the edge detection algorithm. The algorithm controls the formula used to detect the edges
and the direction of the edge indicators.
Background color
Specifies the background color. Select the Image check box to use the original image colors, or click
the color picker to select a different color.

Randomize
Indicates the random placement of the wind lines.
When you apply the Wind effect to an image, ACDSee Pro places the wind lines randomly. This makes
the wind lines different every time you apply the filter. You can define a specific random seed to
generate identical wind lines.
To generate a new random seed, click Randomize.
