Colorize
The Colorize group contains controls to set the coloring of the effect.
The Colorize... pop-up can be set to:
None - No coloring is performed. The colors of the source image are used.
This should be used, for example, when simulating light shining through a multicolored window, or shooting out from a multicolored logotype.
One Color - With this setting, one single color can be picked and the entire effect is colorized in that color.
3-Color Gradient - Three colors (Highlights, Midtones and Shadows) can be selected.
5-Color Gradient - Five colors can be selected.
