Secondary : No
Uses colour : Yes
Options : None
Description :This paint mode is a very simple paint with 20% transparency to show the original picture underneath. It is not meant to be used as a paint mode in its own right, but it is very useful for accurately selecting areas to then process with a different paint mode.
Secondary : No
Uses colour : No
Options : Create matrix (9 input boxes), Load and Save Matrix
Description :Matrices are very powerful image manipulation tools. They work by combining the pixel with the value of its neighbours in various ways. You can load in a variety of pre-defined matrices and save out new ones from the mode options.
Secondary : No
Uses colour : No
Options : Median, Minimum, Maximum Average Filter
Description :Sets the current pixel to the median value of the current pixel and its eight immediate neighbours. This spreads areas of similar colours and completely obliterates dithering and other fine detail. Repeated use on an image creates very realistic 'oil painting' effects.
Sets the current pixel to the value of the brightest red, green and blue values from the surrounding 8 pixels. Makes bright objects 'expand' into darker areas.
The reverse of Maximum. Dark areas expand into brighter areas.
Secondary : No
Uses colour : No
Options : Position (Percent), Smoothness (Percent)
Description :This simulates the mirage effects seen in deserts or on hot roads. The top of the image is reflected in the bottom of the image. By adjusting the position and smoothness (which work in the same way as in the GradientTint paint mode) you can finely adjust your mirage effect until you find an image you like.
Secondary : No
Uses colour : Yes
Options : Add, Sub, Or, Xor, Diff,
Description :Mixes the pixel colour with the selected colour using a variety of different logical operations:
The colour is added to the pixel.
The colour is subtracted from the pixel.
The colour is logical ANDed with the pixel.
The colour is logical ORed with the pixel.
The colour is logical XORed with the pixel.
The pixel is set to the difference between the new colour and the current pixel colour.
Secondary : No
Uses colour : Yes
Options : None
Description :Convert to a purely black and white (2 colour) image. All pixels darker than the selected colour are turned black, others turn white. This works best if the selected colour is Mid Grey, but you can change the colour and Use to find the best value. This can produce excellent Alpha Channels (remember to Blur the image after fixing it!).
Secondary : No
Uses colour : No
Options : Length (2 to 50) and Angle (degrees)
Description :This powerful (and slow on high lengths) effect blurs an image as if it is a photograph of the object moving in the chosen direction. It is useful for giving an object in an image the impression of movement.
