machine wash interface
A: Wash Selector
The Wash Selector allows the user to preview any of the 60 built-in wash effects in real time. Simply click the drop down box to reveal the complete listing of wash effects.
B: Wash Properties Control
Wash Scale - Using the slider controls, the user may enlarge or reduce the scale of the selected wash effect appropriate to the resolution of the image. By default the wash effect is applied at the smallest scale to the image.
Wash Intensity - Using the slider controls, the user may intensify or reduce the wash effect.
C: Wash Orientation
Flip the wash effect by clicking the appropriate checkbox. In addition, the wash effect may be rotated in increments of 90 degrees. Click the Invert Wash checkbox to inverse the wash effect.
D: Coverage Controls
Use the Slider Controls in this area of the interface to modify the areas of your design that the wash effect is applied to.
The Coverage Slider be default is set to 100% or full wash effect coverage, as the slider is adjusted to smaller percentages, random gaps of the wash effect will be removed. Likewise adjusting the Coverage Scale will reduce or enlarge the size of the gaps in the applied wash effect.
By default, the Edge Distance control is set to 0% meaning the wash effect is applied to the entire image. As the slider control is increased, the wash effect will retract from the edge of the image depending on the Wash Area settings defined below.
Modify the Edge Softness to control the transition from uneffected to wash effected image.
E: Wash Area Controls
These controls only effect the image when the coverage of the wash effect has been modified using the Coverage Area controls.
Toggle the Wash Area buttons to apply the wash effect to either the inside or the outside of the edge of the image. Use this feature in tandem with the Edge Distance control to enhance the effect of the wash near the edges of your images.
When the Coverage slider has been enabled, use the Random button to modify the position and shape of the gaps create by reduced coverage area.
F: Heavy Cycle Controls
When enabled, instead of the wash effect revealing layers below the image, the Heavy Cycle introduces a tonal background. The user can change the colors of the tones by clicking the color to launch the Color Picker dialog. The user may also modify the scale of the tonal pattern to create either a small varigated pattern or a large smooth color pattern.
By default when enabled, the Heavy Cycle renders a convincing rusted effect. In addition for single layer images like photographs, the Heavy Cycle is enabled by default.
G: Magnification Indicator
The current level of magnification is shown between the Cancel and OK buttons at the bottom of the interface and can be modified by clicking the appropriate icons on either side of it to increase or decrease magnification of the preview.
H: OK and Cancel Buttons
Clicking the OK button applies the filter with the current settings. Clicking Cancel closes the filter window without applying the effect.
I: Preview Window Area
Preview the effect on your image here. When magnification is increased, simply click and drag to move around the preview image.
Use the Preview window to modify the position of the wash effect by holding down the Option key (or Alt key on Windows) then click and drag within the preview window.
