Warping and Morphing Images

Shape Colors

By default, the paths of source shapes are light blue; paths of target shapes are dark
blue; paths of connection lines are purple; paths of boundary shapes are orange; and
paths of unassigned shapes are yellow. These colors can all be changed using the
following parameters in the shapeColors section of the colors subtree in the Globals tab.

To change the default color of a shape color parameter:

1

Click the color swatch of the shape color parameter you want to change.

2

Use the Color Picker to select a new color to use for that shape type.

All shapes of that type are now displayed with the new default color you selected.

Shape Editing Controls

Various behaviors for selecting points, creating Bezier curves, and adjusting each
shape’s transform control can be customized in the shapeControls subtree of the
guiControls subtree of the Globals tab. You can modify how each of these controls
works to better suit your working style or input method—for example, whether you
use a graphics tablet or mouse.

Each parameter has a slider that adjusts the control’s behavior.

rotoAutoControlScale
An option which, when enabled, increases the size of the transform controls of shapes,
based on the vertical resolution of the image to which the shape is assigned. This
makes it easier to manipulate a shape’s transform control even when the image is
scaled down by a large ratio.

rotoControlScale
A slider that allows you to change the default size of all transform controls in the
Viewer.

You can also resize every transform control appearing in the Viewer by holding down
the Command or Control key while dragging the handles of any transform control in
the Viewer.
