New Graphic Effect Blocks

I thought of some ways to improve scratch and I thought more graphic effect blocks are cool.

Here are some examples I made:

Blur Effect:

Blockshade Effect:

Invert Colours Effect:


I've wanted these blocks to be added to scratch for a long time and I'm sure heaps of other people have wanted these too.

Support! These would be nice to have!

There's already a blur effect

Surprisingly, no.

Surpreisingly, no.

Well there is but it doesn't work

I know these are similar but I would recommend suggesting them in separate topics. Blur effect is also already being discussed here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/45089/

What exactly would the “Invent Colors” block do?

Like pick a random color or something?

Inverting an image means turning each pixel's color to the opposite position of the original color on the RGB color chart. Some examples:

White -> Black
Blue -> Orange
Black -> White

A blur effect used to exist but it was glitchy when it came to images with pixels which weren't fully opaque.

I read that wrong; thought it was “invent”.

more mockups:

([blur v] effect ::looks)
([blockshade v] effect ::looks)
([invert v] effect ::looks)

You can do the invert effect on scratch but it is very tricky, here's a project somebody else made on it. It would be way easier if we could do these with one block.

Image Multiply/Screen/Invert Effect

That one also requires pen.
