Scan Phase Controls

Control	Description
Auto Adjust Line Phase	Automatically detects and corrects the scan phase offset by analysing the channel viewport.
Channel Selection Dropdown	Selects the display channel for line phase adjustment.
Manual Line Phase Adjustment	Spinner control to optionally manually adjust the scan phase. (See Scan Phase Adjustment).

Histograms

Histograms for live display modes.

If no background images are selected, the default controls for the histogram panel allow for adjusting the contrast, transparency, and primary color of the live image in the viewport.

Control	Description
Transparency	Controls the alpha of the channel. The lower the node is placed, the lower the visibility of the channel compared to the other channels.
Black/White	Controls the black/white limits of the image. Pixel values below the Black node will be displayed as all black, and pixel values above the White node will be displayed as all white. Tip Changing the histogram color will tint the live image white values to the chosen color.
Curve	Adjusts the interpolation curve between the black and white contrast limits. Moving the node left or right will bias the display of the image pixel values towards the black or white limits.

Histograms with pinned backgrounds selected.

When a background image is selected (See Image Controls), the histogram panel changes to allow for the same contrast, transparency, and color configuration of the image in the viewport as if it were the live image. The controls for the histogram are the same as in the Live Histogram mode but only apply to the selected background image.

Tip

To return to Live Histogram mode, hit the esc key.

Tip

To match the viewport color to the configured histogram channel color of the currently selected image, use the “Set Color” button under Image Controls
