Image Tab

See the Creator Common Controls section at the beginning of this chapter for a description of the controls under this tab.

Color Tab

This control is used to select the mode used by the background tool when the image is generated. Four selections are available.

Solid Color

This default creates a single color image.

Horizontal

This creates a two color horizontal gradation.

Vertical

This creates a two color vertical gradation.

Four Corner

This creates a four color corner gradation.

Gradient

This creates a background from a custom gradient.

These controls are used to select the color of the Background tool. Depending on the mode selected, one to four color controls will be displayed to create linear color ramp backdrops. Select one and pick a color from the preset menu or create them. Alternatively, enter values in RGB via the keyboard by clicking in the values box and typing in the value. Each color has its own alpha value slider to adjust the transparency of each color.

The Custom Gradient Controls that appear are described in depth in the Tool Controls chapter of this manual. Consult this chapter for details on setting up a custom gradient for use in the background tool.
