FilmFrame Art - Layout Mode page 2.

Layout Tab
This Tab, the blue button with "Effect" on it, will allow you to leave the automatic layout mode and enter into the manual adjustment mode for this effect. Warning: If you leave the Layout mode and then return after having made manual adjustments to your effect, you will lose all manual effect settings. Use the layout mode to get your effect started, and then do not return to this mode. Return to Page 1 of this tutorial for Effects Mode Controls.

Frame Coverage
This slider defines how many frames are created on the layout.

Film Angle
This slider changes the orientation of the frames to give all frames an angle. The higher the setting on this control, the more angled the frames become.

Frame Color
This slider and color control defines the color and opacity for the frames.

Color Shift
This slider will slightly change the colors for each photo that is developed inside each frame.

Curl Shading
This slider control adds depth by curling the film frames and distorting the shadows to simulate curled depth.

Size Difference
This slider control changes the difference in size the frames are generated at. The higher the setting, the more difference there will be between the frame sizes when they are rendered.

Global Scale
This slider control defines the size of the effect as it is applied to the image. Use this control to scale the size of the effect on a constrained basis.

Variation
This controls the random generation of settings used to create each effect's distinctive patterns. Changing the Variation value for the effect will provide a unique look each time the setting is changed.
