CHAPTER 13. FILTERS 143
The center of the spin in this case, is the center of the image. Zoom blurring produces
a blur that radiates out from the center of the image. The center of the image remains
relatively calm, whilst the outer areas become blurred toward the center. This filter
option produces a perceived forward movement, into the image. Length is the main
setting here, and affects the amount of speed, as it were, toward the center of the
image.

13.99 Mosaic
Overview
The Mosaic filter renders a mosaic from the current layer. The filter bases color
selection on the image, and renders user controlled tiles that reflect the layer’s color
properties. There are three Tiling Primitives, and numerous options to change the look
of the rendered tiles according to need. Mosaic Options
Mosaic Settings
Antialiasing Antialiasing outputs aliased tiles in the final render. Antialiasing can
produce a higher quality of render, but will slow the render process.
Pitted Surfaces Pitted Surfaces creates a pitted appearance on the rendered tiles
similar to rough concrete, or cement. The effect is characterized by many small
dots on each of the tiles.
FG/BG Lighting FG/BG Lighting renders the mosaic using the foreground and back-
ground colors that are currently selected in the Toolbox. The foreground color
changes the lighting source color, and the background color affects the color of
the lines between the tiles.
Tiling Primitives Tiling Primitives sets the shape of the tile. Squares sets the tiles
as squares. Hexagons makes the rendered tiles hexagonal in shape. Oc-
tagons& Squares renders the tiles as a combination of octagons, and squares
that interconnect well. These primitives may loose all recognizable shape after
further adjustments from the Tile Neatness slider.
