External Inputs
The following inputs appear on the tool's tile in the Flow Editor:
- Input
- Source image. Required.
- Brightness Map
- Adjusts resulting edges' brightness. The map multiplies the values obtained by the macro controls, it can be used as a mask. Black areas of the map hide edges, white areas leave them intact. Optional.
Controls Tab
Slider control. Pre-blurs the source image making the edges wider and the corners more rounded.
Curves control. Defines the cross-section of the edge. Left to right direction corresponds to going outside the object in and the vertical axis defines the brightness. If you make several spikes, you'll get multiple edges.
Slider control. Increases the edge brightness by multiplying the values. Acts similarly to the Contrast control, but affects brighter pixels more, preserving the black point.
Slider control. Applies the Gamma operation to the edges. It affects the gray point, preserving the black and white points.
Slider control. Increases the sharpness of the edge. The operation is similar to the Gain, but affects the black and white points, preserving the mid-gray.
