Effect Images (6.0)

Effect images are jpg or gif images that you can create with the Image tool, or import from a
USB memory.

They are mapped pixel by pixel to the effect layout when selected. In other words, if the
effect layout consists of 100 light sources that are aligned 10x10 - you can create an image
that is 10x10 to fit exactly, or 128x128 if you want to be able to scale and zoom in the image.

Simple black & white image mapped to intensities, and color in a 10x10 effect layout

Create a new image (6.0)

1. Open the Effect Images tool (Browser >Effects >Image Effects >Effect Images...)

2. Press INSERT to create a new image. You will get a popup

3. Enter the size of the image. The size is relevant to the size of the effect layout it will be
applied to. We recommend 128x128 which you can scale to a lot of layouts.

4. Press MODIFY in the Image column of the new image. This opens the layout editor tool.
