tone found in the middle of the original monochrome gradient .
The result is a gradient from Color 1 to Color 2 and from there,
to Color 3 .
Tint: This mode is only provided for color masks . If you select
this function, the “Color 1” button is activated, which you
should then click . Specify a color and confirm with “OK” . All
the colors of the mask are then replaced by the one you se-
lected . The entire picture is then filled with one shade of color,
though the saturation and brightness are retained .
Hue: This option is likewise only provided for color masks .
If you click on this button, the system first of all determines
which is the dominant color in the mask and then displays it as
“Color 1” . You cannot select this button . Now click on “Color
2” and use the upper palette arrow to select any color shade
that you want to replace the dominant color with . All the colors
in this mask are thus replaced with a new one, whereby the
distance in the color palette between the original and replace-
ment color is equal to the distance between the dominant
color and Color 2 .
Hue 2: This option functions in a similar way to “Hue”, and
is therefore only displayed for colored masks . Though in this
case you can freely select the color that is to be replaced by
capturing it from the image (see Color box) . You can custom-
ize the settings for your mask still further by using the “Bright-
ness”, “Contrast” and “Color” buttons that are located in the
bottom area of the window .
For simple, soft gradients, it is recommended that you use
the “Linear H” (horizontal gradient), “Linear V” (vertical gradi-
ent) and “Linear D” (diagonal gradient) . The direction of the
color shift can be altered using the “Mode” button . The little
box next to the “Colorize” button can be used to activate or
deactivate the colorization of the pattern displayed in the up-
per preview window . If a dash appears in the little box, you can
see the original color . If a check mark is shown, you can see
the pattern with the colorization that you set . You do not have
to activate the check mark in order to colorize a pattern . All
you need do is click on the “Colorize” button .
With “Mode” you can choose from eight different positive and
negative inverses . To select a color, you can access the color
box directly using the little color box in the bottom left corner
of the right-hand image pool area (on the left next to “OK”) . If,
for example, you click on the “Color/Pattern” button when se-
lecting a border for the titles, you will first of all see the image
pool in which you can either select (using the button described
here) a mask or a color as desired . The pattern chosen, with its
chosen settings (e .g . direction, color), can be saved and used
again at a later stage . For this purpose, use the “Archives”
button .
The pattern archive makes a distinction between patterns (Edit
menu “New”, “Pattern”, such as patterns for fonts and back-
grounds in the titler) and effects (alpha masks for pattern fades
or the add-on program Ultimate Spice Box) . Patterns that have
been stored in one of both archives cannot be accessed from
the other . Included, you‘ll find a number of pre-set examples
(“Granite dark”, “Wood”,…) in the archive .
