Blocks

Version:           svn trunk (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Gaussian blur is little less useful then the one in GIMP 
when I post-process my painting.

First problem is that the preview shows some big rectangular blocks on the image.
See attachment. 

Second problem is that when bluring, the image is repeated in invisible area.
It is good for some filters, but in this case it looks bad.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Krita
2. Paint some masterpiece or use gradient to fill the canvas to the edges
3. Filter-> Gaussian Blur 
4. Preview is blocky
5. Apply the filter, result is repeated and looks weird

Actual Results:  
The image looks strange when trying to post-process 
the painting. I would propose to copy behaviour from GIMP in
this case.


OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686
Compiler: gcc
Comment 1 Dmitry Kazakov 2010-07-27 12:52:04 UTC
Gaussian Blur filter is broken for a long time. Try using "Blur" filter. It works fine. But, afair, it doesn't work without fftw3 library.
Comment 2 Sven Langkamp 2010-09-23 16:11:42 UTC
Can you check if this still happens?
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2010-09-23 21:44:50 UTC
Just for the record, before everyone has gone to bed and forgets about it:

21:07:36 < slangkamp> why is the filter src paint device exactBounds limited to the rect that the thread is working on?
21:07:56 < boud> it is?
21:08:11 < boud> a filter should be able to read from the whole src device iirc
21:09:25 < slangkamp> I run the gausian blur filter and from applyMatrix I get src->exactBounds() I get lots of different values
21:09:55 < slangkamp> which appear to be the areas the threads are working on
21:10:08 < boud> maybe because now the filters copy the bit the thread works on onto something temporary?
21:10:59 < boud> but I've lost track of that code a bit
21:11:57 < slangkamp> the filter needs the complete bounds otherwise the repeat iterators are repeating at the wrong bounds
21:12:41 < boud> is this in the mask or mask preview, or when apply and close the filter dialog ?
21:16:20 < slangkamp> let me check
21:17:11 < slangkamp> only with preview
21:17:30 < boud> and if you create a filter mask?
21:20:42 < boud> slangkamp: but for this issue of yours, we really need dmitry. It's tied together with transactions, changerects, needrects and things
21:20:54 < slangkamp> hmm there is something else going wrong
21:21:14 < slangkamp> the preview takes several times longer than the apply
21:22:08 < boud> that's probably because the preview is done in chunks, with an initialisation cost for every chunk. Best bet is to profile it.
21:26:30 < slangkamp> boud: calculated too often http://pastebin.com/DJ4Ax9wq image is 1024x768
21:26:59  * slangkamp is away from 30 minutes
21:27:50 < boud> slangkamp: very strange
21:31:00 < dmitryK41> boud, slangkamp: yes the merger creates a temporary area to work *if needed*
21:31:24 < boud> dmitryK41: what determines the need?
21:31:35 < dmitryK41> boud, slangkamp: so the filter must be able to work locally
21:32:14 < boud> but that's always going to be a problem with convolution filters -- they need to read beyond the bounds of local areas.
21:32:21 < dmitryK41> boud: e.g. when needRect!=requestedRect!=changeRect
21:32:48 < dmitryK41> boud: this problem has been solved with needRect mechanism
21:33:16 < dmitryK41> boud: now the merger prepares some excessive area for the filter to work
21:33:57 < boud> dmitryK41: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245870 is still a problem, and also slangkamp found that the same area seems to be calculated a lot: 
21:34:03 < bugbot> KDE bug 245870 in krita (general) "Gaussian Blur filter preview is blocky, the edges of the image are blurred weirdly" [Major,New] 
21:34:09 < boud> 21:26:30 < slangkamp> boud: calculated too often http://pastebin.com/DJ4Ax9wq image is 1024x768
21:34:38 < dmitryK41> boud: and if the convolution filter is in the middle of the masks stack you simply can't apply it on the layer directly
21:34:59 < boud> yes, I understand that
21:35:09 < boud> but we've still got a problem :-)
21:36:10 < dmitryK41> boud: as far as i remember Gaussian Blur filter was broken itself
21:36:23 < dmitryK41> boud: that is why we had these blocky results
21:36:36 < dmitryK41> boud: you can check Blur filter
21:36:44 < dmitryK41> boud: it works fine
21:37:04 < dmitryK41> boud: and it is convolution filter as well
21:37:27 < dmitryK41> boud: Blur != Gaussian Blur
21:38:30 < boud> best wait a bit -- slangkamp should be back in twenty minutes and he has more details.

Blocky artefact

Here is showed the blocky artefact. Draw some lines throught the whole canvas and then use gaussian blur. The place of the blocky effect is both in the preview and then in the result.

The edges are nicer now.
Comment 5 LukasT 2010-10-19 15:05:17 UTC
Here is the log from valgrind
http://pastebin.ca/1966873 (temporary available)

After running Krita in valgrind, the bug is not reproducible. 
Mighty valgrind healed the bug for me.

SVN commit 1187822 by lukast:

Fix for the border artefacts

Proposed by Cyrille Berger

CCBUG:245870

 M  +5 -1      kis_gaussian_blur_filter.cpp  


WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1187822
Comment 7 Cyrille Berger 2010-10-20 15:53:33 UTC
It is not blocker anymore, the implementation of BORDER_WRAP (ie the behaviour near the edge of the image) is actually a new feature. And should probably be reported as a different bug report for clarity.
Comment 8 LukasT 2010-10-24 14:40:33 UTC
Ok, I will report new bug report :)
Closing as fixed then.

Bug still does appear after the filter is applied.

Hello, 

I get the border's black alpha bleeding into the canvas on all sides except the left one.

Thank you
