An emboss effect with several options to create different kinds of outline and emboss effects.
— Emboss Style: This pop-up lets you choose from among Relief, Emboss Over, Sobel, and Laplacian types of embossing.
— Power: Lets you adjust how pronounced the emboss effect is.
— Angle: Lets you choose the apparent angle at which the emboss effect is rendered.
Channels
Three checkboxes let you choose to use the Red, Green, and Blue channels to create this effect.
Mirrors
An effect that lets you reflect part of the image in any direction you like. At its simplest, this can create a split mirror effect like that found at the end of Prince’s “When Doves Cry.” At its most complicated, multiple reflections can be set up, to create whirling Kaleidoscope patterns in the image.
Main Controls
These controls let you choose what kind of effect this plugin has.
— Mirror Placement: Lets you choose different types of mirror effects including Individual (a simple reflection), Rosette, and Kaleidoscope.
— Reflect at Borders: Lets you add another reflection of the image whenever the angle and position of your reflection would result in offscreen black coming into the frame.
Individual Controls
When Mirror Placement is set to Individual, a series of six sets of Mirror parameters lets you add multiple mirrored edges in different combinations; by default only one is on, but you can turn more edges on to create more complicated mirror effects. Each group of Mirror parameters has the following parameters:
— Enable Mirror: Turns that mirror reflection on.
— X and Y Position: Positions the center of the mirror split reflection.
— Angle: Lets you adjust the angle of the seam along which a reflection will run.
— Flip: Flips which side of the image is reflected.
Rosette Controls
When Mirror Placement is set to Rosette, a single set of parameters creates a variety of circular patterns.
— X and Y Position: Positions the center of the circular rosette reflection.
