CO LO U R TYP E M E N U
This menu defi nes the way that the colour you d r a w with
affects or
combines with
the colour on the screen. This is like
specifying whether paint is to be Opaque or Translucent, except
that this menu allows a n extra range of options beyond those
encountered in traditional med ia. I nteractions between the 'paint'
and the existing image that cannot rea d i l y be described i n words
are easily ach ieved. For this reason, experimenta tion is probably
the best method to find out what the
Colour Types
do.
This menu al lows you to make one selection at a n y one ti me.

selections are closely related to

types affect the whole digital i mage i n real ti me. Colour t ypes,
however, apply only to still images i n the field store, and occur as

Any combination of Col o u r types may be used in a single image
(though one at a ti me), in d i ffering o r overlaying a reas of the
screen. The effect of va rious
Col o u r t ypes on a d r a w n line or
f illed a rea can be explored by using the correspond i n g Colourize
type to colou rize the entire image without making a permanent
change (a colou rized image reverts to the original if the
COLOURIZE button is turned
off.)
