CHAPTER 11

Echo Software

The following adjustments affect the boundaries between elements of an image. They are especially useful for adjusting the borders of a figure moving against a background.

Luminance /Distance Weight

The final LED colors in echo are calculated by a weighted average of the pixels surrounding the LED area. Increasing the Luminance Weight, means that brighter pixels will contribute more to the final LED color than darker pixels. Likewise, as Distance Weight is increased, pixels that are closer to the center of the LED will contribute more than pixels that are further away.

Luminance Cutoff

Specifies the minimum brightness of a pixel for it to be taken into account when calculating the final LED color. This allows you, for example, to keep bright or dark parts of an image from effecting the LED color.

Cutoff Mode/Luminance

These controls effect how the Luminance Cutoff works. When the Cutoff Mode is set to Less, then pixels that are darker than the specified Luminance Cutoff are ignored.

When the Cutoff Mode is Greater, then pixels that are brighter than the Luminance Cutoff are ignored. The Luminance Invert control is used to invert the luminance value before it is tested by the cutoff (it does not invert the final color).
