Blur Function

[Guest Yachtsman1]

I don't know if this is correct but this seems the correct place to check. I'm compiling a show of our bathroom makeover. I'm using some background images from the internet. I used one of them then added one of my images as a child. I haven't used blur before so I selected the background & added some blur & found my image blurred also, is this correct?

Hi Yachtman1

Yes.

Yes. Just like Pan, Zoom, etc,, blur is an inherited attribute. Make your image an independent object rather than a child object and you can control the blur of each separately.

Thanks both, since posting I did do it as I wanted, however I left the thread in place in case there was a problem. I'm still rusty & this is my first attempt at a "proper" show since my op'. Should have read the manual first.

PS just tried searching for "blur" in the online help but it didn't come up with P49 as Mur's post.

Objects and Animation
• Dynamic blur can be applied using keyframes. If blur is applied to a parent object, any child objects will also be blurred. Blur can be used for slide objects in custom transition effects.
• Dynamic unsharp mask can be applied using keyframes.
• Color adjustment (e.g. sepia, grayscale) can be applied using keyframes.
• Crop tool in “Adjust image and border” window.
• Mask container can be inserted into another mask container.
• Transparent background of slides for custom transition effects.
• Linked images on a slide. See “Main object” parameter.
• Optimized performance of Masks objects.
• ‘Scale key frames in objects (on time change)’ mode in Slide options is fully reworked and used by default for new slides. You can change default settings in the Preferences / Project tab.
• Change slide duration command in Tools menu. Use of this tool allows the user to keep absolulte time positions of keyframes or to scale keyframes after changing the slide duration.
