Comments

LDialogImageEffect::SetPixelateParams must be called before using this function to set the initial values for the dialog. You can get the updated PIXELATEDLGPARAMS with the values entered by the user through the dialog by using LDialogImageEffect::GetPixelateParams.

The Pixelate dialog.

This dialog has the following fields:

Use this button to fit entire preview images on both the Before and After views.

Use this button to view images with normal scale on both the Before and After views.

Before View
