Ghosting

Description

This node produces and overlays one or several ghosts of the image.

Properties

• Bias : This property adds a bias to the effect by adding an invisible gray-scale version of the image in the computing. Higher values modifies colors and make the shadows disappear. Lower values drag the entire image down to black. Values should be between -1 and 1..
  Default : 0.0

• Scale : This property adds to the bias in the effect by multiplying the computation by this value. Higher values modifies colors and make the shadows disappear. Lower values drag the entire image down to black. Values should be between 0 and 2.
  Default : 0.5

• Ghosts : The number of ghosts to add on top of the image.
  Default : 2

• Ghost Dispersal : How far the ghosts should be dispersed from the original image. Values should be between -0.5 and 0.5.
  Default : 0.013

• Additive Mode : Toggle to activate/deactivate if the colors of the ghosts should be added on top of the colors of the original.
  Default : ON

• Direction : Sets the direction where the ghosts disperse.
  Default : 0.5 – 0.5

• Lens Color : Set the Lens Color. This will apply an overall Hue on the resulting image.
  Default : Very pale reddish : 230 / 204 / 179 / 255

*You can unfold and set Min/Max values for all the above properties, however, defaults have been set that generally constrain the values in between default Min/Max values that are proven to work well for this effect.
