5D.Facet

PURPOSE
Breaks an image up into regions of appreciable size, each of which is given a uniform color similar (but not identical to) the color in that area of the original image. This gives the image a 'faceted' appearance. Some packages label this effect an 'oil brush' effect.

INPUT CLIP
The clip to facet.

X Size (Min: 1 Max: 30 Default: 1)
Specifies half the width of a box centred on each pixel. The color of the output pixel is the most frequently occurring color within the box of a reduced set of colors (made up of 32 red levels, 32 green levels and 32 blue levels).

Y Size (Min: 1 Max: 30 Default: 1)
Specifies half the height of a box centred on each pixel. See X Size.

PreScale (Min: 0.05 Max: 1.0 Default: 0.25)
Using a value less than 1.0 will speed up the processing as the image is reduced in size and the facetting carried out at a lower resolution. The image is then re-sized back to the original resolution.

Tip: Processing time increases as the product of X Size and Y Size. It can be very slow at full resolution and large radii!
