I just looked it up. It'll be clear as mud when you finish reading it.
Digital images consist of pixels that each have brightness values, typically for red, green and blue colors or simply brightness for black and white images. Blurring means that you go through every pixel of the image and "mix" the colors of that particular pixel with the pixels around it.
Gaussian blurring means that an image is blurred by a Gaussian function, named after mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss. The blur resembles that of viewing the image through a translucent screen.
Gaussian blur mixes the values of the neighboring pixels depending on the distance to the reference pixel. The pixels right next to the reference pixel get more of the colors from the reference pixel while the pixels farther away get less of the colors.
This image shows how a single red pixel mixes with the black pixels around it when gaussian blur is applied.
Other types of blurring use different rules for mixing the colors. Box blurring, for example, means that all of the neighboring pixels have an average value of its neighboring pixels. ------ Jnsjknn https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/bda3sn/eli5_whats_the_difference_between_gaussian_blur/
@randystreat thanks Kathy, nope didn't understand a word!!! @wakelys hope you understand it, if so please explain to me!! @salza it's a button on affinity!!
It is a pretty garden and I have never understood Gaussian blur either. The explanation from @randystreat (and thank you Kathy) helped a little bit but I am probably not smart enough to completely comprehend it. It does make a great addition to your alphabet
