Cross Blur filter blurs an image in two perpendicular directions and blend the results creating various crosshatch textures. Parameters: Blur Type "Constant" mode produces more noticeable effect (good for achieving artistic effects together with "Sharpen" filter) while "Soft" adds a subtle cross blur. Blend Controls how the two perpendicular blurs are combined. Size Controls the blur power. Value of 1.0 sets the maximum blur, but you can enter in edit field values up to 4.0 and get more blur, but with a slightly reduced quality. Direction Controls the blur direction. Value of 1.0 = one full rotation (360 degrees). You can enter values up to 100.0 and create direction animations (rotating direction). Crosshatch texture example - Cross Blur together with a Sharpen filter. See also Cross Blur variations: Cross Blend - Blur an image and blend with the original. Variable size - control the blur power within the frame with a Radial Mask, or Linear Mask.
