Choose a pixel style
Currently there are four pixel styles.
  • Shade Square wave - the standard. Pixel density is translated into a square wave pattern.  Darker pixel = more waves = more ink.
  • Shade Scaled square wave - the half-tone effect.  Instead of changing the number of waves, this one changes the size of the square that gets drawn.  Darker pixel = big pixel = more ink.
  • Shade Solid - used for multi-layer chroma keying effects.  This shades every pixel at maximum density, no variation.
  • Shade scribble - noisy effect.  This is like a randomised pixel - a number of lines are drawn, but their direction and length are random (within the boundary of the pixel).  Darker pixel = more lines = more ink.
