HUD Controls
The HUD contains the same controls as the Inspector, with the exception of the mix
control.
Equalize
Remaps the black and white points in an image, resulting in individual adjustments to
the contrast in the dark and light parts of an image. The Equalize filter can be used to
adjust the overall contrast range of an image, crushing the whites and blacks, or it can
be used to create selective washed out or darkened effects.
This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups.
Parameters in the Inspector
Black Point: Sets the relative color value used for black. Values range from 0 to 1.0.
White Point: Sets the relative color value used for white. Values range from 0 to 1.0.
HUD Controls
The HUD contains the same controls as the Inspector.
Gamma
The Gamma filter adjusts the relative distribution of brightness within the midtones of
an image, while leaving the white and black points alone. The perceived result is to
brighten and darken the areas of medium brightness within an image, while leaving
the highlights and shadows alone. This avoids a washed-out result.
