Demo

1. Open lena.png.
2. Select <Image> → Filters → Generic → "Convolution Matrix..."
3. Set the 9 middle squares to 1, the other squares to 0 and the divisor to 9.
   (What we are doing is replacing every pixel with the average of its 3*3 neighbourhood.)
4. Press the "OK" button.
5. Repeat several times with Ctrl+F (or <Image> → Filters → "Repeat Last" ) to strengthen the effect.
