Furry Edges options

Frequency Specifies how much fur is added to the image. The higher the setting, the more dense the fur that is

applied to the image.

Threshold Specifies how sharp an edge must be before fur is applied to it. As the value decreases, the area of the

image that fur is added to increases.

Fur length Specifies the length of each strand of fur. As the value increases, the length of each fur strand also

increases.

Variance Specifies how much of the fur grows in the direction indicated by the Hair direction setting. The higher

the value, the more random the fur direction will be.

Hair direction Specifies the general direction in which fur appears to grow.

Edge detection Specifies the edge detection algorithm. The algorithm controls the formula used to detect the edges

and the direction of the edge indicators.

Background color Specifies the background color of the filtered image. Select the Image check box to use the original

image colors, or click the color picker to select a different color.

Fur color Specifies the color of the fur. Select the Image check box to use the original image colors, or click the

color picker to select a different color.

Random Seed Indicates the random placement of the fur strands.

When you apply the Furry Edges effect to an image, ACDSee 14 places the fur randomly. This makes

the fur strands different every time you apply the filter. You can define a specific random seed to

generate identical fur patterns.

To generate a new random seed, click Random Seed.
