- This tool is used to soften tile seams in images used in tiled backgrounds. It does this by blending
- and blurring the boundary between images that will be next to
- each other after tiling.

- The bigger the radius, the more marked is the blur. By selecting

- If you want the blur applied only to the borders, then simply applying
- Tileable Blur on the whole image is not enough. Directions for use are more complex:
- </p>
- <p>
- Start with duplicating the layer and select it to work on it.
- </p>
- <p>
- Apply Tileable Blur with about 20 pixels radius.
- </p>
- <p>
- Select All and then Shrink selection to get a border.
- </p>
- <p>
- Feather Selection.
- </p>
- <p>
- Ctrl-K to delete the selection (the central part).
- </p>
- <p>
- Merge layers Down.
- </p>
- <p>
- Appliquez le flou mosaique avec un rayon d'environ 20 pixels.
