Using other Wash Adjustments
Washes can be adjusted by using these modifiers:
• Size — Size
• X-Pos, Y-Pos — Position
• Aspect — Aspect Ratio
• Border — Border Appearance
• Softness — Edge Softness
• Hue 2, Sat 2, and Lum 2 — Secondary Color
The Aspect function allows you to alter the shape of 
the selected wash pattern. For example, if you want 
the wash to be oval shaped, select the circular pattern 
and adjust the aspect ratio until the desired oval is 
created.
Borders are effects created around the selected 
pattern for the wash. The Border function allows 
you to adjust the appearance of the border.
The Softness function controls the wash edge 
appearance. It is a pattern edge effect produced by 
mixing key source and key fill signals allowing 
variable control of edge softening.
The Hue 2, Sat 2, and Lum 2 functions control the 
secondary color. If you are creating a wash and want 
to add a second color, adjusting these options will 
generate and modify another color set within the 
pattern.
To apply other adjustments:
1. Press MATTE to display the Matte menu.
2. Press NEXT until the desired modifier is 
displayed.
3. Adjust the desired modifier by rotating the 
corresponding knob.
Note:
• If the wash is turned off, the pattern does not 
display.
• The wash pattern and the key pattern mask are 
shared. Any adjustments affect both patterns.
• You can change the pattern size by turning the 
positioner.
