Wand motion_blur() function - Python

Wand rotational_blur() function in Python

Last Updated : 25 Apr, 2025

Another type of Blur that can be performed in Wand python library is rotational blur. Rotational Blur is quite similar to Motion Blur but in this the motion of blur is circular. rotational_blur() function blur an image in a radius around the center of an image. Unlike the other blur methods, there is no radius or sigma arguments.

Syntax :
Python3
wand.image.rotational_blur( angle= angle_value,
channel = "optional_channel_value")
# radius should always be greater than sigma(standard deviation)
Parameter :

Parameter Input Type Description
angle basestring Degrees of rotation to blur with.
channel numbers.Real Optional channel to apply the effect against.

Image Used :

Example #1:

Python3

# import display() to show final image
from wand.display import display
 
# import Image from wand.image module
from wand.image import Image
 
# read file using Image function
with Image(filename ="koala.jpeg") as img:
 
    # perform rotational blur effect using rotational_blur() function
    img.rotational_blur(angle = 10)
 
    # save final image
    img.save(filename ="rb_koala.jpeg")
 
    # display final image
    display(img)

Output :

Example #2: Increase angle to 30.

Python3

# import display() to show final image
from wand.display import display
 
# import Image from wand.image module
from wand.image import Image
 
# read file using Image function
with Image(filename ="koala.jpeg") as img:
 
    # perform rotational blur effect using rotational_blur() function
    img.rotational_blur(angle = 30)
 
    # save final image
    img.save(filename ="gb_koala.jpeg")
 
    # display final image
    display(img)

Output :

Wand - blur() function in Python

Blurring Image means making an image fuzzy or hazy. A blur image is indefinite and it is unable to see an image clearly. Blur is of many types, like - Adaptive blur, Gaussian blur, Selective Blur etc. In order to blur an image we use blur() function. blur() function takes three arguments. Example :

Wand rotate() function in Python

Rotation changes the orientation of image or it rotates image to a particular angle. rotate() takes a degree which can be 0 to 359. (Actually you can pass 360, 361, or more but it will be the same to 0, 1, or more respectively.). Syntax : wand.image.rotate(degree, background, reset_coords) Parameter

Wand tint() function in Python

tint() function colorizes midtones of an image by blending the given color. The alpha parameter controls how the blend is effected between color channels. However, this can be tricky to use, so when in doubt, use a alpha="gray(50)" argument. Syntax : wand.image.tint(color, alpha) Parameters : Parame

Wand rectangle() function in Python

rectangle() function, as the name describes this function is used to draw a circle using wand.drawing object in Python. rectangle takes many arguments like left, top, right, bottom, width, height etc. Syntax : wand.drawing.rectangle(left, top, right, bottom, width, height, radius, xradius, yradius)

Wand motion_blur() function - Python

The motion_blur() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to simulate motion blur. This function convolves the image with a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation. Syntax: motion_blur(radius, sigma, angle) Parameters: This function a

Python - blue_shift() function in Wand

Blue shift effect make the colors dull by shifting blue values by a factor. A nighttime kind of scene is generated using this. This takes only one parameter factor. A lot of photo editors use this effect to give a night exposure effect to the image. Syntax : wand.image.blue_shift(factor) Parameters

Wand rotate() function - Python

The rotate() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to rotates the image right. It takes a background color for which rotation is not available. Syntax: rotate(degree, background, reset_coords) Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as mentio

Wand blur() function - Python

The blur() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to blur the image. Syntax: blur(radius, sigma, channel) Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as mentioned above and defined below: radius: This parameter is used to specify the value of radi

Wand selective_blur() function in Wand python

Another kind of Blur that can be performed using Wand library in python is Selective Blur. Selective blur is similar to normal blur. Difference is that it only effect the part of the image that have contrast below a given quantum threshold. A new attribute named as threshold is introduced in this fu

Wand statistic() function in Python

Statistic effect is similar to Spread effect, the only difference is that, it replaces each pixel with the result of a mathematical operation performed against neighboring pixel values.The width & height defines the size, or aperture, of the neighboring pixels. The type of statistic operations c
