Edge This value defines the pixel distance to which the filter looks ahead for edges. When this value is increased, then spike noise is erased. You can eventually re adjust the Edge filter, when you have changed this setting. When this value is too high, the adaptive filter can no longer accurately track image details, and noise or blurring can occur.

Not only is QE s ability to jumpstart crisis torn, balance sheet constrained economies limited it also runs the important risk of blurring the distinction between monetary and fiscal policy.

Radius this control selects the gliding window size used for the filter. Larger values do not increase the amount of time needed to filter each pixel in the image but can cause blurring. This window moves across the image, and the color in it is smoothed to remove imperfections. In any case it must be about the same size as the noise granularity or somewhat more. If it is set higher than necessary, then it can cause unwanted blur.

Although girls still tended to choose subjects such as classics, languages and social sciences, and the boys more technical and vocational subjects, the distinction was blurring and there were increasing numbers of boys and girls studying non traditional subjects interestingly enough, the boys and girls in non traditional subjects tended to have better than average results.
