## Overview

Example of applying the Pick filter

Original image

Filter Pick applied

The Pick filter replaces each affected pixel by a pixel value randomly chosen from its eight neighbors and itself (from a 3×3 square the pixel is center of). All or only some pixels in an active layer or selection are affected, the percentage of affected pixels is determined by the Randomization (%) option.

## Activating the Filter

This filter is found in the main menu under Filters Noise Pick… .

## Options

Pick filter options

Presets, Input Type, Clipping, Blending Options, Preview, Split view
Randomization (%)

  This slider represents the percentage of pixels of the active layer or selection which will be picked. The higher value, the more pixels are picked.

Repeat

  This slider represents the number of times the filter will be applied. Higher values result in more picking, pixel values being transferred farther away.

Random seed

  Controls randomness of picking. If the same random seed in the same situation is used, the filter produces exactly the same results. A different random seed produces different results. Random seed can be entered manually or generated randomly by pressing New Seed button.
