You can only set the wind in two directions, either Left or Right. However, you can control which edge the wind will come from
using the values Leading, Trailing or Both. Because Trailing will produce a black wind, it creates a less convincing motion blur
than Leading, which will produce white wind.

Preview All your setting changes will appear in the Preview without affecting the image until you click on OK. It reproduces a
part of the image only, centred on the first modified area it encounters.
Style
• Wind: This option is the most suggestive of a moving effect. Trails are thin.
• Blast: This option tries to suggest a blast due to an explosion. Trails are thick.
Direction You can select the direction, Left or Right, from which the wind comes.
Edge Affected
• Leading: Trails will start from the front border, falling on the object itself. It suggests that a violent wind is pulling color
out.
• Trailing: Trails start from the back border of the object.
• Both: Combines both effects.
