ComfyUI Node: ImageMagick Motion Blur

ImageMagick Motion Blur:

The ImageMagick Motion Blur node is designed to simulate the effect of motion blur in an image, which is a common technique used to convey movement or speed. This node applies a blur effect that mimics the appearance of an object moving rapidly in a specific direction. By adjusting parameters such as radius, sigma, and angle, you can control the intensity and direction of the blur, creating a dynamic and visually appealing effect. This can be particularly useful in artistic compositions, animations, or any scenario where you want to add a sense of motion to your images.

ImageMagick Motion Blur Input Parameters:

image

This parameter represents the input image that you want to apply the motion blur effect to. It should be provided in a compatible image format.

radius

The radius parameter controls the extent of the blur effect. It determines the distance over which the blur is applied. The value can range from 0.0 to 1024.0, with a default value of 0.0. Increasing the radius will result in a more pronounced blur effect.

sigma

The sigma parameter defines the standard deviation of the Gaussian function used in the blur process. It affects the smoothness of the blur. The value can range from 0.0 to 1024.0, with a default value of 0.0. A higher sigma value will produce a smoother blur.

angle

The angle parameter specifies the direction of the motion blur in degrees. The value can range from 0.0 to 1024.0, with a default value of 0.0. Adjusting the angle allows you to control the direction in which the blur is applied, simulating motion in different directions.

ImageMagick Motion Blur Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output parameter is the processed image with the motion blur effect applied. This image will have the same format as the input image but with the added motion blur effect, based on the specified input parameters.

ImageMagick Motion Blur Usage Tips:

• To create a subtle motion effect, start with a low radius and sigma value, and gradually increase them until you achieve the desired effect.
• Experiment with different angle values to simulate motion in various directions, such as horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
• Use higher radius and sigma values for more dramatic motion blur effects, which can be useful for emphasizing speed or movement in your images.

ImageMagick Motion Blur Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid image format

• Explanation: The input image is not in a compatible format.
• Solution: Ensure that the input image is in a supported format such as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.

Radius or sigma value out of range

• Explanation: The radius or sigma value provided is outside the acceptable range.
• Solution: Verify that the radius and sigma values are within the range of 0.0 to 1024.0.

Angle value out of range

• Explanation: The angle value provided is outside the acceptable range.
• Solution: Ensure that the angle value is within the range of 0.0 to 1024.0.

Image processing failed

• Explanation: An error occurred during the image processing.
• Solution: Check the input parameters and ensure they are correctly set. If the problem persists, try using a different image or adjusting the parameter values.
