1.x Pixelocybe

Available parameters rundown

• Channels allow you to specify which color channels should the effect be applied to.
  • RGB – the effect is applied on each of the RGB components separately.
  • Luma – the effect is applied to all channels equally using the overall luminance of a pixel.
• Intensity Source – optional, allows you to pick a different layer as an input for the plugin. The pixelation effect is applied using the layer pixels’ intensity, hence the name. Don’t forget to check Effects & Masks if you plan to use effects on the input layer. When set to “None”, the current layer is used as an input for the effect.
• Mosaic Width/Height defines the maximum block width/height of the mosaic.
• Shading – shades long stretches of the same luminosity and generally smooths out the image. The shading can be applied horizontally, vertically, or on both axes.
• Mosaic Curve Type – this is what Pixelocybe uses to map input pixel luminosity to the resulting mosaic distortion. See the manual (downloaded with the plugin) for a more detailed explanation.
• Mosaic Curve Phase offsets the curve by a set amount of degrees
• Offset Horizontal/Vertical offsets where the mosaic intensity is read from horizontally and vertically.
• Transparency makes parts of the image transparent, useful for quick keying and doing transitions.
  • Transparency Below/above pixels below/above this luminosity become transparent
  • Transparency Phase offsets where the above two parameters start and finish, similar to Mosaic Curve Phase.
  • Transparency Smoothing is useful for smoothing out sharp transitions between transparent and opaque areas of the image, when transparency options are in use.
