Description

Scattering of objects by cumulative duplication/offset method.

The Repetitions are powers of 2^(n-1), that is, 1=1 copy, 2=2 copies, 3=4 copies, 4=8 copies, 5=16 copies, 6=32 copies, 7=64 copies and 8=128 copies.

Note: This also makes the filter twice as slow on each interval, thus the maximum repetition of 8 is 128 times slower than 1.

Scatter slider affects how widely the objects are distributed.

Every variation gives you a different scattering pattern.

Although this filter "requires" a selection, it does work without a selection as well, using the whole image as the "selection."
