Options

Through the options tab, you can change how FilterOptix looks & feels.
Options do not change the way the filter is drawn on the pictures, but only how you use the FilterOptix plug-in itself.
Options are remembered for the next time you use FilterOptix.

Transparency pattern

In many areas of the FilterOptix window you'll see thumbnails and small previews of the filters and presets. All of these use a transparency pattern; a grid of different colored blocks used as the picture.

Grid size

Sets the size (in pixels) of each block in the grid.

Colors

Click on either of these to set one of the two colors used.

Presets

The presets options only change the way the thumbnails in the preset area look like.

Size

You can change the size (in pixels) using this option.

Filter dial

The dial used in the filter settings is one of the central parts of FilterOptix. It can be a bit difficult to set it to exact values though, so FilterOptix gives you the option to snap it to certain intervals.

Rotation snap

Set the snap interval of rotational changes to a specified number of degrees. Select "Off" to disable rotation snap.

Level snap

Set the snap interval of level changes to specified percentage steps. Select "Off" to disable level snap.

Edit effect dials

Some of the effects use dials as well. Similar to the filter dial, these can be configured to automatically snap to certain values.

Rotation snap

Set the snap interval of rotational changes to a specified number of degrees. Select "Off" to disable rotation snap.

Crosshair on preview

The preview are can display a crosshair to help you position the filter on the picture.  The crosshair will not be drawn to the picture itself but is only displayed on the preview.

Enable

Enable or disable the crosshair.
