The example with the decaying kernel is the only one that suggests movement to me , it definitely has direction. All the others look, well, blurred. Despite the artifacts of the implementation, this suggests some sort of progressive blur may be interesting and may suggest movement better than current photographic blur. /gg _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
