Controls
Presets
To select a preset, choose one from the Presets tab. If you would like to view presets from a different category, use the pop-up menu at the top left of the Presets tab.
Amount
Sets the amount of the selected preset.
Black and White
Red, Green and Blue controls allow you to determine the contribution of each color channel in the black and white conversion.
Enable
Enables the Black and White conversion.
Red
Sets the amount of the red channel that contributes to the black and white conversion.
Green
Sets the amount of the green channel that contributes to the black and white conversion.
Blue
Sets the amount of the blue channel that contributes to the black and white conversion.
Film Response
To mimic the characteristics of a particular film stock, a combination of settings for the RGB channels have been set.
RGB
Controls the RGB film response curve. If you are using a black and white preset, the grayscale film response curve will be adjusted.
Red
Controls the Red film response curve.
Green
Controls the Green film response curve.
Blue
Controls the Blue film response curve.
Color Correct
Color Correct manipulates the Temperature, Cyan/Magenta, Brightness, Contrast, Shadow, Midtone, Highlight, and Saturation values of the image. Go to the Color Correct node to see how it works.
Filter
Adds a color filter to the image.
Presets
Select one of the filters from the pop-up list.
Color
Sets the color through the use of a standard color picker.
Opacity
Sets the opacity of the color filter.
Highlights
Preserves the white areas of the image.
Sharpen
Amount
Determines how much contrast is added at the edges.
Radius
Controls the size of the edges you wish to sharpen.
Threshold
The threshold setting is used to sharpen more pronounced edges, while leaving more subtle edges untouched. Low values sharpen more image areas while higher threshold values sharpen less.
Diffusion
Blend
Determines the blend mode to be used to create the diffusion/glow effect.
Add
The diffusion/glow is added to your image.
Normal
The diffusion is mixed with the original image. In this mode, Amount only shows changes up to a value of 100.
Screen
The diffusion/glow is combined with the image using a Screen blend mode. This looks kind of like the Add blend mode, but highlights are retained.
Amount
Sets the amount of diffusion.
Blur
Sets the softness of the image.
Color
The Color parameter sets the color of the diffusion/glow through the use of a standard color picker or eyedropper. The default color is white.
Position
When using the Add and Screen blend modes, Position selects the values used to create the glow effect. A higher Position value uses the brightest image values to create the glow. A lower Position value uses the darkest image values to create the glow.
Range
When using the Add and Screen blend modes, Range controls the range of values to be used for the glow. Once you’ve selected the “Position”, you can then add or subtract the “Range” of values to be used in the glow source. A higher Range value includes more values in the glow source while a lower Range value includes less values.
Vignette
A vignette is a popular photographic effect where the photo gradually fades into a color. Go to the Vignette node to see how it works.
Grain
Grain simulates film grain with control of the size, softness and intensity. In addition, a Film Response parameter controls where you will see grain in the image. Go to the Grain node to see how it works.
Note: You may not see an accurate representation of the grain in the viewer unless your timeline/composition is set to high quality and the viewer is set to a 1:1 pixel ratio.
