•
Blend Shape
determines the rate of
roll-off across the blend width, i.e.
how quickly the white levels across
the blend change from light and dark.
Increasing the
Blend Shape
setting
accelerates the rate of change at both
extremes so that
less
of the region
appears mid-gray (see Figure 3.20).
Decreasing the
Blend Shape
setting
slows the rate of change so that
more
of the region appears mid-gray. For
most applications, this subtle control is
best left close to 50.
•
Blend Midpoint
determines the white
level at the blend midpoint (the point
equidistant between the beginning and
end of the blend). Increasing the
Blend
Midpoint
setting creates a blend that
appears brighter than the rest of the
image. Decreasing the
Blend Midpoint
setting creates a blend that is darker than
the rest of the image. A setting of 50
means the midpoint is approximately
50% black—for best results in most
applications, keep fairly close to this
default.
•
Show Blending Overlap
turns your
defined blend width area to solid gray so
that, if needed, simply overlapping the
gray bars can seamlessly align two
adjacent images. Toggle the
Show
Blending Overlap
off to reactivate the
blend effect.
NOTE:
Blending Overlap appears as
Reserved
when ChristieTWIST is
installed.
Other Functions
For convenience, the
Edge Blending
submenu also includes related options for
enabling a specific color and/or test pattern,
or for working with colors or the lamp. Such
functions duplicate those provided elsewhere
in the menu system.
