Observe the following rules when creating compositions.
• Select and define the image you want to use as the background before entering
Compose mode.
• A composition can contain one background and anywhere from one to 16 fore-
ground tiles.
• When you create a foreground tile that overlaps an existing solid color rectangle
or still image, the overlapping portion erases whatever it overlaps.
• Reducing the size of a still or moving video image normally introduces minor
pixel artifacts, thus reducing quality.
• Once you place (or, stamp ) a foreground tile into place, you cannot move or
change it.
• To use a composed image, you must record or display it on the output. There is
no other way to save the composition.
• You cannot use composed screens in conjunction with Learn mode.
The larger tile is drawn first. When the second tile
is drawn, it overlaps part of the larger one. The
overlapping portion of the smaller tile erases that
portion of the larger tile where the two overlap.
