Multiple masks
Multiple masks The (blue) button opens a small window in which the user can drag and drop the selection that must be
used in the photo mosaic. The (orange) checkbox on the left must be ticked to activate the multiple mask
option. If un-checked only the current mask in the mask selection box will be used. Don't forget to also
indicate if the mask and/or overlay must be applied (the two checkboxes above the mask selection
box). In the picture above the multi-mask selection window is shown. On the left the whole range of
available masks is shown. On the right the selection that must be used. To add masks to the selection you need
to drag-and-drop the thumbnail pictures from left to right, and drag-and-drops from right to left to remove the
mask from the selection. There must always be one mask available (that mask can't be removed). The sequence
of masks is not important. The user can add several same masks to the selection. The more same masks, the
higher the probability it will be used. Alpha or 32 bit Cancel and OK
The multiple mask feature basically allows for a selection of masks that is applied to the tiles in the photo
mosaic. Now each cell can have a different mask. The user can select the multi-mask option by pressing the small
button on the right of the mask selection box.
Make your choice of mask selections: alpha masks are
greyscale masks (file type is .jpg and are starting with 'a_' and
'b_'), 32 bit are colour or greyscale masks with an additional
transparency channel (file types are .bmp and .png and is starting with 'o32_'). If the selection is changed the mask selection on the right is
lost.
When the 'Cancel' button is pressed the mask selection is not updated. When pressing
'OK' the mask selection is saved.
