Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultWhat it does
channelsChoicergbaWhich channels this node writes: rgba, rgb (alpha passes through untouched), alpha only, all, or none (bypass). Everything unselected comes straight from the input — same as Nuke. allrgbargbalphanone
radiusFloat3.0Size of the effect, in pixels.
amountFloat0.6How much of the detail difference to add back. Past ~1 it halos.
disabledBoolfalseBypass: the node passes its first input through untouched (D in the graph). The knobs keep their values for when it comes back.
labelTextA note shown under the node in the graph — what this node is FOR. Never affects the render or the cache.
hide_inputBoolfalseDraw the node without its input wire — a tidy graph for a node whose source is obvious (a Dot, a viewer tap).
