Pixelator Controls

Touching

Pixelator

in the Function panel displays the Pixelator menu

(

Figure 228

). The Pixelator produces a mosaic appearance. A representa-

tion of the resulting mosaic effect is shown in the Pixelator Transfer Func-
tion display.

The

Tile Size

soft knob adjusts size of the tiles, in pixels. (The reading is actu-

ally overly accurate, to accommodate interpolation. The actual width in
pixels of a tile is rounded upward to the nearest multiple of 4).

The

Aspect

soft knob controls the tile aspect ratio. The range is -1.00 to +1.00.

The

Reset to Unity

button sets both values to zero, resulting in no mosaic.

Transitions Menu

The Mix Effects – Transitions menu (

Figure 229

) provides controls for

selecting and customizing a user transition type. When the

User Tran

button

is selected as the transition type in an M/E Transition subpanel on the
Main Control panel (see Transition Types

on page 112

), you can choose the

type of user transition in this menu.
