SPECIAL
MENU
- FIND
- Find allows the user to define a Find pattern and a
Replace pattern. The Find pattern is used to find matching patterns
in the image which can be replaced if so desired by the replace pattern.
- PRESET FINDS
- FIND FLOATS 1 Finds floats on weft face, weft back,
warp face or warp back and automatically binds(cut) at halfway point.
FIND FLOATS 2 Finds floats and binds(cut) at halfway point, but avoids
binding locations that are adjacent to other binders.
CORNERS 1 Finds sharp corners and blunts them. Requires at least a 3
X 3 pixel cell
CORNERS 2 Finds sharp corners and blunts them. Preserves edge connections.
Requires at least a 3 X 3 pixel cell
CORNERS 3 Finds sharp corners and blunts them. Requires at least a 2
X 2 pixel cell.
CORNERS 4 Finds sharp corners and blunts them. Preserves edge connections.
Requires at least a 2 X 2 pixel cell
FIND WEAVE REPEATS Finds weave repeats and replaces them with a defined
color. Very useful in reverting a card image (cut/miss) back to a colorized
image.
DEFINE F&R MACRO Allows the user to combine multiple find & replace
sequences into one macro. Useful for auto-editing repetitive tasks.
- EXECUTE F&R MACRO
- Call from hard disk stored F&R MACRO and execute
- FIND NEXT
- Once a find pattern is defined, find next will find
the next match
- COUNT ALL
- Counts all find pattern matches within a selection
- MAKE MASK FROM FIND ALL
- Creates a mask from a Find and Replace pattern
- REPLACE
- Replace will cause a replace to occur on the most recently
found match.
- REPLACE ALL
- Finds all pattern matches within a selection (or entire
image) and replaces each with the replacement pattern
- REPL. ALL W/MIRRORS
- Replaces all find pattern matches with selectable mirroring
ie. pick, end, rotation.
- SHOW LAST FOUND
- Shows the last replace pattern found.
- COLOR GROUP
- Sixteen Color Groups are provided; each Color Group
may contain up to 256 colors. Tools are provided for creating and modifying
the Color Groups. Used whenever a group of colors should be treated
as one in processes such as Masking, Find & Replace, Paint Borders,
Posterize, Change Colors, creating selections, etc.
- OUTLINE OPERATIONS
- Outline operations modify the current active selection
outline. they do not affect the underlying image
REVERSE reverses the currently active selection outline. i.e. all parts
of the image that were selected will become unselected, and all previously
un-selected parts will become selected.
FLIP HORIZONTAL flips the selection outline horizontally.
FLIP VERTICAL flips the selection outline vertically
ROTATE CW rotates the selection outline 90 degrees clockwise.
ROTATE CCW rotates the selection outline 90 degrees counter clockwise.
EXPAND expands the selection outline on the right and left sides or
the top and bottom edges or on all sides by the number pixels designated
by the user.
SHRINK shrinks the selection outline on the right and left sides or
the top and bottom edges or on all sides by the number pixels designated
by the user.
MOVE moves the selection outline a designated number of pixels to the
right, left, up, or down.
MOVE TO relocates the position of the selection outline based on the
user defined coordinates of the lower left corner of the selection/
- OUTLINE MEMORY
- Four outline memories are available. these provide
a place to temporarily store outlines for later re-use. Stored outlines
can be into the image, or into another image, or they can be used as
components of more complex operations.
COPY TO MEMORY stores a copy of the current selection outline into the
active outline memory.
PASTE FROM MEMORY copies an outline stored in memory to the current
image.
SWAP WITH MEMORY swaps the outlines in the active memory and the active
image.
ADD MEMORY adds the outline in active memory to the outline in the active
image.
SUBTRACT MEM subtracts the outline in the active memory from the outline
in the active image.
INTERSECT MEMORY the current image selection is merged with the active
stored selection. The overlapping area of the two selections becomes
the new selection.
REVERSE MEM reverses (turns inside out) the selection in active memory.
FLIP HORIZONTAL horizontally flips the active outline memory.
FLIP VERTICAL vertically flips the active outline memory.
ROTATE CW rotates the active outline memory 90 degrees clockwise.
ROTATE CCW rotates the active outline memory 90 degrees counter clockwise.
CLEAR MEM discards the contents of the active outline memory. Not undoable.
MASK>> MEM saves the current mask into the active outline memory.
SELECT MEMORY selects which of the four available outline memories will
be the active one.
- REACTIVATE OUTLINE
- Reactivates the last selection outline.
- MASKING ON/OFF
- Toggles between turning mask on or off. Hot key
- MASK DISPLAY ONLY
- Mode in which mask overlay remains visible, but masking
is OFF and masked areas are NOT protected
- REVERSE MASK
- Will reverse the mask. protected areas will become
unprotected, and vise-versa.
- CREATE/EDIT MASK
- Allows the user to create new mask or perform further
editing of an existing mask. Masks may be created by picking from or
combining from many sources. Sources may be from COLOR GROUPS, SELECTION
OUTLINES, FOREGROUND COLOR, COLOR NUMBER, PREVIOUSLY SAVED MASK, END
(RANGE,
PATTERN, OR SEQUENCE), PICK (RANGE, PATTERN, SEQUENCE, SHUTTLE LIST,
CARD RANGE), PICK & END GRID, OR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TWO IMAGES. ACTION
Action that may take place when activating the masking option. NEW Clears
current mask and then adds a new source. ADD adds a new source to the
existing mask SUBTRACT subtracts a source from existing mask COMMON
keeps areas that are in common to both the new source and the existing
mask Sources or the entire mask may be reversed.
- MASK PREFERENCE
- Allows the user to determine the color of the mask
overlay, as well as the percentage of coverage 25%, 50% 75% or 100%
- MASK >> >> OUTLINE
- Will convert the mask to a selection outline
- DISCARD MASK
- Will discard any currently active mask
- GUIDE LINES
- Allows the user to turn the lines ON/OFF, to select
the units (end/pick, inches, or cm) used to specify the locations, to
set the positions of up to eight horizontal and eight vertical guide
lines, to select the color used for the guide lines, and to turn ON/OFF
rulers along the left and top edges of the image.
