Comparing Front and Back Images
If you need to compare the Front and Back images, for instance: to see how changes are affecting an image or that colors are consistent across shots, you can use the swipe feature within Katana. There are two types of swiping within Katana, line swipe (where a line acts as a curtain from one image to the next) and a rectangle swipe (where a bounding rectangle displays the Back image inside the rectangle and Front image outside).
To turn on a Red/Cyan 3D mix between the Front and Back images, select [Swipe menu] > Red/Cyan 3D.
Using the Swipe Line Feature
Select [Swipe menu] > Swipe Line. The swipe line handle displays in the Monitor tab and the names for the Front and Back images become A and B respectively.
You can:
• Click and drag the center of the handle to move its origin.
• Click and drag the lines either side of the handles center to change the swipe angle.
Using the Swipe Rectangle Feature
Select [Swipe menu] > Swipe Rect. The swipe rectangle displays in the Monitor tab and the names for the Front and Back images become Outside and Inside respectively.
You can:
• Click and drag the center of the handle to move its origin.
• Click and drag the bounding box lines to change the swipe rectangle.
Turning Off Swiping
To turn off swiping (and any Swipe menu’s Red/Cyan 3D Mix), select [Swipe menu] > Swipe Off.
