Optical Filters . ... In addition to the above complement of broad and narrow-band filters, WFPC2 features a set of three specialized quadrant (quad or Q) filters in which each quadrant corresponds to a facet of the pyramid, and therefore to a distinct camera relay. ...

Next: Hierarchical Wiener filtering Up: Noise reduction from Previous: The convolution from . Let us consider a measured wavelet coefficient at the scale i . We assume that its value, at a given scale and a given position, results from a noisy process, with a Gaussian distribution with a mathematical expectation , and a standard deviation : . ... We get: . ... This is done from the study of the variation of the noise between two scales, with an hypothesis of a white gaussian noise; . ...

... The filter "Lighting Effects" is a freebie that came with this program, and in my opinion is practically worth the whole purchase price all by itself. ... You can select different light sources, and combine them with texture channels to warp your image. ... Depending on how you use it, pure white is the highest point on the image, and black the lowest. ... You can adjust the brightness and spread here, or choose other types of lighting. ... Use these if your image is turning out too dark or light. ...

... Graphics are imbedded in RTF in either a binary format or an (ASCII) hex dump of that binary. I have never seen a binary format graphic - I don't think that the filter will process binary correctly. It does handle the hex format of graphics, by converting the hex back into binary and writing the binary to a file. ... If a graphic is encountered when the filter is in the process of generating a link, the IMG form of the link is used even without the -I command line option. ...
