Pixel Explosion options
Horizontal
center
Specifies the center point of the explosion on the horizontal axis. A value
of 500 places the explosion at the middle of the image.
Vertical center Specifies the center point of the explosion on the vertical axis. A value of
500 places the explosion at the middle of the image.
Intensity Specifies the intensity of the explosion. A higher value creates a larger,
more brilliant spread of the pixels in the image.
Explosion
direction
Specifies the direction of the explosion. Select one or both of the
following:
x Explode horizontally: explodes the pixels towards the right and left
sides of the image.
x Explode vertically: explodes the pixels towards the top and bottom
of the image.
Random Seed Indicates the random placement of the pixels.
When you apply the Pixel Explosion effect to an image, ACDSee places the
pixels randomly. This makes the pixels different every time you apply the
filter. You can define a specific random seed to generate identical pixel
patterns.
To generate a new random seed, click Random Seed.
