Main Functions
Use edge-blending controls to set the precise width, shape and midpoint you need to blend overlapping edges
together smoothly.
• Blend Width determines how much area is used for blending along an overlapping edge. Slidebar values
represent the number of 8-pixel steps used for the blend. For example, a setting of "3" creates a blended edge
24 pixels wide. A setting of "0" signifies no blending. For best results in most applications, use a blend width
of 16-48 steps (128-384 pixels).
RANGES: 0-80 horizontal, 0-60 vertical
• Blend Shape determines the rate of roll-off across the blend
width, i.e. how quickly the white levels across the blend change
from light and dark. Increasing the Blend Shape setting accel-
erates the rate of change at both extremes so that less of the
region appears mid-gray (see
• Decreasing the Blend Shape setting slows the rate of
change so that more of the region appears mid-gray.
For most applications, this subtle control is best left
close to 50.
• Blend Midpoint determines the white level at the blend mid-
point (the point equidistant between the beginning and end of
the blend). Increasing the Blend Midpoint setting creates a
blend that appears brighter than the rest of the image. Decreas-
ing the Blend Midpoint setting creates a blend that is darker
than the rest of the image. A setting of 50 means the midpoint is
approximately 50% black-for best results in most applications,
keep fairly close to this default. See
• Show Blending Overlap turns your defined blend width area to
solid gray so that 2 adjacent images can be seamlessly aligned
simply by overlapping their gray bars, if needed. Toggle the
Show Blending Overlap OFF to reactivate the blend effect.
