Patch Inspector Settings: 

Use normalize coordinates – if enabled, distance type parameters are normalized to the [0,2] range where 2.0 is the diagonal of the primary image, while the position type parameters will be normalized to the [0,1] range where 1.0 is either the width or the height of the primary image.

Normalized coordinates work only with Core Image filters that have an input image and valid image parameters.
