Jitter effect
This method places grains onto an image, which result in the image will look like it was jammed by electromagnetic interference. It is useful for simulating quality drop in preparation of any future effect and you can also use it to create an artifical quality drop for e.g. a safe opening or transaction to make it impossible to record sensitive data.
Important: you should study this article in order to find out how to setup your Windows Forms Application correctly.
Properties
Radius: It is a float type property that we can use to set the value of radius between 1 and 10. Raising or lowering the value causes changes in the radius of the grains.
