HUD Controls
The HUD contains all of the same controls as the Inspector, with the exception of the
Gradient control.

Halftone

This filter reduces an image to a black and white version of itself, simulating the
halftone screening method for print, in which the shadows and highlights of an image
are recreated using patterns of small and large dots.
