Work with Gaussian Blur Filter – C# API Installation
You need to configure Aspose.PSD for .NET API either by downloading its DLL file from the Downloads page, or with the NuGet installation command below:
PM> Install-Package Aspose.PSD
Apply Gaussian Blur Filter on an Image Programmatically in C#
You can smoothen an image by reducing the noise with the gaussian filter. Please follow the steps below to apply a gaussian blur filter to the images.
- Firstly, load the input file using the Image class.
- Initialize a GaussianBlurSmartFilter class object.
- Set different characteristics and apply the blur filter.
- Finally, save the output image file.
The code sample below explains how to apply the Gaussian blur filter on an image programmatically in C#:
