Software Reference - FlexColor 4. 0 for Camera Backs 28 The Main FlexColor Window Overlay Overlay It is possible to add an overlay to the preview and live video windows to help with aligning your setup. All the standard image file types such as TIFF, JPEG, GIF, and PNG can be used. The Mac version supports PNG-files with alpha channels giving you full control of the image transparency. To add the overlay simply drag the image file into the preview window, or alternatively if you option-click the Overlay button you are given the possibility of browsing for the overlay image instead of dragging it into place. Once in place you can click and drag the overlay image around to align it correctly and you can resize it by clicking the borders and dragging. [. . . ] Output PPI: Set this to the output resolution you would like to define for the file. Depending on your other settings, this may or may not affect the size of your 3F file. For example, if you are using Adapt to format to establish a size in cm, then your output PPI will affect the number of pixels in the image and therefore the scan size. However, if you are not using Adapt to format, or if you are specifying output dimensions in pixels, then the PPI simply becomes a definition in the file that does not affect the number of pixels it contains.
