Controls

Parameter / script name Type Default Function
Radius / radius Integer 5 Radius of the spatial kernel (positional sigma), in pixel units (>=0).
Smoothness / epsilon Double 0.2 Regularization parameter. The actual guided filter parameter is epsilon^2).
Iterations / iterations Integer 1 Number of iterations.
(Un)premult / premult Boolean Off Divide the image by the alpha channel before processing, and re-multiply it afterwards. Use if the input images are premultiplied.
Invert Mask / maskInvert Boolean Off When checked, the effect is fully applied where the mask is 0.
