GlowRainbowMask In the S_GlowsMask Plugin. Generates rainbow colored glows based on the distances from the edges of the source input. Any edges in the input image, where the brightness crosses the given threshold value, will generate an equal glow into the darker side of the edges. This is similar to GlowRainbow but here the glow colors are also scaled by the Mask input. Inputs: Source:  The input clip that determines the glow locations and colors. This clip is also used as the background and the glows are layered back onto it. Mask:  The source glow colors are scaled by this input. A monochrome Mask can be used to choose a subset of Source areas that will generate glows. A color Mask can be used to selectively adjust the glow colors in different regions. The Mask is applied to the source before the glows are generated so it will not clip the resulting glows.

Parameters:

Width:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the glow distance. This and all the width parameters can be adjusted using the Width Widget. Note that a zero glow width still enhances the bright areas; set the brightness parameter to zero if you want to pass the Source through unchanged.

Frequency:   Default: 12,  Range: 0 or greater.
The frequency of the color pattern. Increase for more cycles through the spectrum.

Frequency Red:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the red frequency.

Frequency Green:   Default: 0.9,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the green frequency.

Frequency Blue:   Default: 0.8,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the blue frequency.

Invert Mask:   Check-box,  Default: off,  Shared.
If enabled, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white.

Phase:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the color pattern.

Phase Speed:   Default: 1,  Range: any.
If non-zero, the color phase is automatically animated at this speed, causing the color pattern to flow over time.

Phase Red:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the red phase.

Phase Green:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the green phase.

Phase Blue:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the blue phase.

Brightness:   Default: 0.8,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the glows.

Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
Scales the color of the glows.

Threshold Add Color:   Default rgb: [0 0 0].
This can be used to raise the threshold on a specific color and thereby reduce the glows generated on areas of the source clip containing that color.

Threshold:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Glows are generated at the edges of areas in the source clip that are brighter than this value. A value of 0.9 causes glows from only the brightest spots. A value of 0 causes glows for every non-black area.

Glow Saturation:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the saturation of the glow colors. Increase for more intense colors. Set to 0 for monochrome.

Scale Source:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 to 1,  Shared.
Scales the brightness of the Source input when combined with the glows. This does not affect the generation of the glows themselves.

Eclipse With Bg:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 to 1,  Shared.
If this is set to 1, the background is subtracted from the glow and gives an eclipsed shadow effect.

Params2:

Show:   Popup menu,  Default: Result.
Selects the type of output

Result:  Shows the final result of combining the glow, source, and background.

Threshold:  Shows the thresholded image that is used to generate the glow.

Combine:   Popup menu,  Default: Screen.
Determines how the glow is combined with the Source or Background. This parameter has no effect if Light BG is set to 1.

Mult:  the source or background is multiplied by the glow.

Add:  the glow is added to the source or background.

Screen:  the glow is blended with the source or background using a screen operation.

Difference:  the result is the difference between the glow and the source or background.

Overlay:  the glow is combined with the source or background using an overlay function.
