BLUR_IMAGE(1)

πŸ’– BLUR_IMAGE πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this is a General Commands Manual entry and it's lowkey iconic. we're talking about blur_image, the off-screen image blurring utility that runs on OpenGL ES 3.0 ✨ no cap.


🌸 NAME 🌸

blur_image β€” off-screen image blurring utility using OpenGL ES 3.0. it's giving "make your pics soft and dreamy" energy πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

blur_image <input_file> [FLAGS] -o <output_file>

so you hand it an <input_file>, toss in whatever [FLAGS] you're feeling, and you always gotta tell it where to put the glow-up with -o <output_file>. periodt πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this manual page is here to document briefly the blur_image command as provided by the blur-effect package. iykyk 🫢

the binary program blur_image generates images with Blur Effect. that's the whole vibe. it blurs. it slays. it's the main character of your wallpaper folder πŸ˜­πŸ‘‘


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

  • -r <radius> β€” the radius, bestie. heads up though: it now should be an odd number ranging [3-49]. odd numbers only, no exceptions, that's just the rule πŸ“
  • -S <sigma> β€” sample distance. the default is 1.0 ✨
  • -b β€” adjust brightness after blurring. little post-blur glow-up 🌈
  • -d <drmdev> β€” use drmdev (like /dev/dri/card0 e.g) to render πŸ’œ
  • -l <percent> β€” multiple current lightness by percent, ranging [0.0-1.0] 🌸
  • -s <percent> β€” multiple current saturation by percent, ranging [0.0-1.0] πŸŽ€
  • -p <rendering passes> β€” iterate passes of rendering, ranging [1-INF]. yes fr fr, INF. go wild πŸ”₯

πŸ¦‹ EXAMPLE πŸ¦‹

here's the moment you've been waiting for, the actual usage bestie:

blur_image -d /dev/dri/renderD128 -p 6 -r 7
"/usr/share/wallpapers/deepin/Garden In The Autumn.jpg" -o out.jpg

see how the -o out.jpg is sitting there at the end? that's the output. ate πŸ’…
