Overlay
It is possible to add an overlay to the preview and live video windows to
help with aligning your setup. All the standard image file types such as
TIFF, JPEG, GIF, and PNG can be used.
The Mac version supports PNG-files with alpha channels giving you full
control of the image transparency.
To add the overlay simply drag the image file into the preview window,
or alternatively if you option-click the Overlay button you are given the
possibility of browsing for the overlay image instead of dragging it into
place.
Once in place you can click and drag the overlay image around to align it
correctly and you can resize it by clicking the borders and dragging.
Clicking the Overlay button (see page 27) will turn the overlay on/off.
The Preview
FlexColor has been designed with the philosophy that when creating
digital images, it is best to judge image quality with your eyes, not based
on point measurements and color lookup tables. This is why we have
drawn so much attention to the screen calibration procedure in the
tutorial, and why we have integrated ICC color profiles to maintain the
color accuracy you see on your screen all the way to print.
To make it easy for you to see and use the preview, FlexColor provides a
large 16-bit image with a zoom function and magnifier window. Because
your monitor can only show 8-bit colors, FlexColor calculates a new 8-bit
image from the 16-bit information each time you apply a highlight,
shadow, gradation, or color setting. This creates a very accurate preview
image.
