Parameters overview¶
Overbleed's parameters are split into the following groups in the effect controls.
| Group | Contents |
|---|---|
| Basics (bleed & shift) | Bleed amount / direction / color shift / how much source stays |
| Streaks | Drips (streaky runs) |
| Echo | Ghost copies |
| Melt & Matte | Melt / halftone / external matte / Dissolve |
| Color | Color patches in the bleed cloud |
| Turbulence | Noise scale / distortion / animation |
| Texture | Grain / paper fiber / edge ink |
| Glow | Glow / halation / flare |
| Linear Light | Process in linear color space (checkbox at the bottom) |
Where to start¶
The defaults are tuned to a reference look. To adjust from there, try these in order:
- Random Seed (in Turbulence) — greatly changes where things melt and how the color is placed. Try a few seeds first
- Bleed Amount — overall bleed. Scale it with the text size
- Melt Amount — how much melting
- Color Variation / Color Boost — strength of the color patches
- Glow Intensity / Glow Radius — glow
Linear Light¶
Turning on Linear Light (at the bottom) computes the bleed and glow in linear color space. Light mixing becomes physically correct and halation looks photographic, so it is recommended (default: OFF).
