Blurate For Mac

Blurate is an image filtering solution that offers you the possibility to use the OpenCL technology to develop image filters that can be shared with others.

The Blurate utility allows you to create image filter kernels without dealing with code but keep in mind that the project is still under development. However, you can read more about the concept that fuels the app online.

Within the Blurate app, you can start designing kernels and preview the effects in the app’s main window on an image of your choice. The utility allows the user to use building blocks in order to describe how the filter should interact with the picture's space.

The Blurate Kernel Designer allows you to specify the input surface, the neighboring pixels that will have an output value, how the effects merge together, and how the pixel value should be changed.

Blurate packs multiple operation types, and you can use any of them in the various phases that create the image filter.

The Blurate image filter kernels can assign a particular color or can make the sum of neighboring pixels, can reduce the RGB channels, replace channels by applying various formulas, and so on.

In the Kernel Designer, you can use various merging operations for the included pass steps, and you can setup conditions for applying the pass.

The utility allows you to combine the operations and manipulation tools any way you like, and you can save the configuration to a proprietary file format.

Blurate offers you the possibility to develop custom image filters by combining multiple operations and pixel manipulation techniques that provide full control over the output. Nonetheless, learning to use the designer can be quite challenging.
