Dilate

The Dilate Tool replaces each pixel with a maximum of pixels within the kernel. This tool also thickens bright features in an image and reduces dark features.
The operation replaces each pixel with the brightest pixel in its neighborhood, thus shrinking dark areas and expanding the bright ones.
