Zoom Blur
This filter creates a blur that simulates a fast camera zoom in to a point.
Parameters in the Inspector
Amount: Sets the radius of the blur, ranging from 0 (no blur) to 32.
Center: Sets the position of the center of the blur.
Crop: Toggles whether the object is cropped at its original boundaries.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Amount control.
Border Filters
Border filters allow you to frame objects in a composition in various ways.
Bevel
Creates a bevelled border around the edges of an object by superimposing an angled
frame over the original image. The simulated direction of reflected light and opacity of
the bevel can be adjusted to vary the effect.
Parameters in the Inspector
Light Angle: Sets the angle at which the light is hitting the bevel.
Bevel Width: Sets the width of the bevel as a percentage of the area of the object.
Opacity: Sets the opacity of the bevel, ranging from 0 (invisible) to 1.0 (opaque).
Light Color: Picks the color of the light hitting the bevel border. The color picker can
be expanded with the disclosure triangle to include Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders
to more precisely select colors.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the same controls as the Inspector.
