Resize while locked

When the Feed rectangle is locked, resizing the Feed rectangle resizes the Sample rectangle and vice versa.

  • Left-click and drag a square shaped control to resize the Feed rectangle. In this example, we have used the right middle control to reduce the size of the Feed rectangle.

    Lock control is locked causing the sample rectangle to resize when the Feed rectangle is resized, and vice versa

When the Feed rectangle is unlocked, resizing the Feed rectangle does not resize the Sample rectangle and vice versa.

Lock control is unlocked causing the sample rectangle to retain its size when the Feed rectangle is resized, and vice versa

The Scissor control enables you to split a Feed rectangle into smaller Feed rectangles.

  2. Release the left mouse button when you are happy with the position of the splitting line. The Feed rectangle will now be split into two rectangles.

The Mirror control enables you to flip the Sample rectangle or Feed rectangle horizontally or vertically.

  2. Position your mouse cursor over the middle of the Feed rectangle; arrow heads will appear on the edges of the cross shaped cursor.

  3. Left-click and drag the Feed rectangle to the desired position. Note how Disguise displays the distance of the Feed rectangle from the top, left and bottom edges of the Display head in 3 separate boxes. These boxes measure the distance in pixels between the top, left and bottom edges of the Display head and Feed rectangle. The top left of the Display head starts at 0, 0.

Please note: zoom in for a finer control over moving the Feed rectangle by clicking and dragging. Alternatively, read the two other options below.

The top left of the Feed rectangle displays the x and y coordinates of the top left corner of the Feed rectangle. These coordinates are measured in pixels.

Inserting x,y coordinates, measured from the top left of the display head, is another method for repositioning a selected Feed/sample rectangle

Please note: you can also edit the resolution of your Feed rectangle, displayed in the bottom right hand corner, in exactly the same way as how you edited the Feed rectangles x and y coordinates.

To insert co-ordinates:

  1. Left-click the x and y coordinates to highlight their text fields.

  2. Type the new coordinates. The Feed rectangle will now move to the new coordinates specified.

  1. Left-click the Feed rectangle to select it.

  2. Use the keyboard arrow keys. Each press of the arrow key will nudge the Feed rectangle by 1 pixel.
