In the Effect Controls panel:

  • Matte is an input to an effect, scaling the strength. Invert inverts the mattes for calculating strength.
  • Horizontal blocks and Vertical blocks: how many blocks span the frame across and down.
  • Sharp colours: off, each block is the average of what is under it; on, each block is its centre pixel’s colour.
  • Mix: how much of the result replaces the original.
  • Matte and Invert drive the strength of the effect from another layer’s brightness; see Effects.
