Blending seams

You can reduce the appearance of seams by blending the pixel values on either side of the cutline to achieve a gradual transition between the images. That is, blending "softens" the appearance of the seams such that the cutlines are virtually invisible, based on the value you specify.

You set up how you want to blend the seams in the Set Blend Width window, which you can open from either the Mosaic Tool window or the Collection Viewer window. In the Mosaic Tool window, you can set the blend width of one, some, or all images, but in the Collection Viewer window, you can set the blend width of only the image you are viewing.

Note: Previewing of blending during rendering is turned on by default. For the main window, you can turn off previewing by clearing the Cutline blending in main view check box on the Mosaic WYSIWYG page of the Options window.

Blending is applied to the image when it is written to the output mosaic.

Note: In areas containing bright or significantly different features, setting the blend width too high may cause "ghosting" or "doubling" of features.
