The blending panel is one of \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t\} 's most powerful
tools. The blend function gives you control over how certain operations are
mixed into the primary image. In this panel your image will appear as a
square with four graphs and some buttons inside it. There are three ways to
set the graphs; by hand, by preset buttons provided by \{ \ts b Imagemaster
R/t\} , or loading a \{ \tc 15 .ipb \} blend file. Graphs may be copied and
swapped amongst each other by using the provided controls. There is also the
otion of creating a scaled blend graph. As with the rest of \{ \ts b
Imagemaster R/t\} the best way to understand blend controls are to use them.
Remember, the posibilities are limitless.

This will allow you to specify whether the blending operations will effect
red, green, or blue. Also, any combination of red, green, or blue is valid.
The default is to effect all three at the same time, thus producing 256
levels of tranparency. By blending each seperatly you have control over 16.8
million levels of transparency.

These are the controls for shadow production. You can set the direction of
the shadow to any angle, shadow intensity, and the shadow length.

This tool will allow you to select an area, and \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t \}
will define the color used in the color keying operations. Also, the average
and variance from the standard deviation, of the selected area, will be
displayed.
