How to
change an image from color to black & white
You can change a color image into a black & white image by reducing
the value of the saturation parameter, value can be adjusted to
give the desired level of black and white. The object and background
each have a separate saturation value so you can change just the
object, background or both.
| Black & White Images |
| To change an image from color
to black & white set the saturation value to -100, you can
desaturate the object, background or both object & background |
| Original color object and background |
|
| Desaturate object only |
|
| Desaturate background only |
|
| Desaturate both object & background |

How to
create the perfect transparent images
When creating a project that is going to be exported with the transparency
effect. Improve the quality of the image by using a similar background
color as the one you plan to use the finished graphic with. This
is because anti-aliasing will blend the model edge color with the
project background color to give a smooth edge. If you use a different
background color the edge will be noticeably different.
Note: The difference is more noticeable in animated images.
In the example below you can see without the
anti-alias effect the exported image has a rough edge. When using
the anti-alias effect against a white project background the transparent
image has a white edge. When exporting the same transparent image
with a blue project background the edge is blue and becomes unnoticeable
against the blue background image that the transparent image is
added to.

How to
use shadow and lighting in a project
When creating a project that is going to be exported with the transparency
effect. Improve the quality of the image by using a similar background

color the edge will be noticeably different, the difference is more
