Tone Node

Allows you to enable or disable the node. When disabled, a node has no visible effect on the rendered image, nor on the preview in the Camera, Perspective, Side and Top views.

Sets the colour of the layer in the Timeline view and of the node in the Node view.

The name of the node as it appears in the Node View and the Timeline view. Each node must have a name that is unique to its containing group.

Activated by default, this option readjusts the blur when the elements undergo a change of depth or scale. When disabled, the effect's values will remain unchanged regardless of depth or scale changes. It is recommended that this option be disabled when multiple drawings are composited and attached this effect.

Allows you to choose between the following blur types for the effect:

• Radial: The edges of the matte are blurred evenly around points that make up the edge of the matte.
• Directional: The matte is blurred in the direction configured with the Directional Angle and Directional Falloff Rate parameters.

Enter a value for the size of the blur. The larger the value, the greater the blur effect. The blur radius is affected by the drawing scale and camera position.

If you set the Blur Type to Directional, this sets the angle of the blur. The value goes from 0 to 360, with 0 meaning west, and angles going counterclockwise. For example:

• 0: Blurs the image to the west.
• 90: Blurs the image to the south.
• 180: Blurs the image to the east.
• 270: Blurs the image to the north.

The distance where the blur fades from the edge of the image. Select a decimal value between 0 and 1. For example:

• 0: Makes the blur fade out slowly, distributing the blur evenly from the edge of the character to the farthest edge of the blur.
• 1: Makes the blur fade out quickly. The blur is heaviest closer to the edge of the image.

Multiplies the colours of the effect with the colours of the source image. This intensifies the effect.

The amount of red to subtract from the colour of the source image. To obtain a shadow effect, the value must be negative.

The amount of green to subtract from the colour of the source image. To obtain a shadow effect, the value must be negative.

The amount of blue to subtract from the colour of the source image. To obtain a shadow effect, the value must be negative.

Opens the Colour Picker dialog, in which you can visually select a colour for the effect.

Allows you to set the factor by which to multiply the intensity of the effect. This parameter can take a decimal value between 0 and 1. At 1, the effect is fully applied. At 0, the effect is not visible.

Inverts the matte used to generate the effect. By default, the affect is applied to opaque areas of the matte and transparent areas of the matte are ignored. When this option is enabled, the effect is applied to transparent areas of the matte and opaque areas of the matte are ignored.
