Return to ImageFX page. Return to home. ImageFX CLI and Tooltypes IMP "Variables" There are some special identifiers you can place into an IMP prep or proc string that will be replaced when the batch is run. All identifiers begin with a "$" symbol. Case is not important. $(<start>,<end>) Calculates the value between <start> and <end> that corresponds to the current frame number. Used to vary an effect parameter over time. EG: "Sharpen $(10,128)" will vary the sharpen parameter from 10 to 128 over the course of the IMP batch. $[<start>,<end>] Almost identical to $(<start>,<end>) above, but in this format the <end> value is never reached. This is useful when constructing looping animations. EG: "Rotate $[0,360]" will create a 360-degree rotation over the course of the batch, without creating a "hitch" at the loop point. $F Current frame number. $S Starting frame number. $E Ending frame number. $1 Source 1 name. $2 Source 2 name. $D Destination name.

ImageFX Tool Types ASPECTADJUST=<num> Aspect ratio correction for aspect lock. Values greater than 1.0 adjust the image wider, values less than 1.0 adjust the image taller. ASSIGN=<assign_name:> Select the Assign name for the directory where ImageFX resides. ASYNCHELP (2.1) Enable asynchrounous help windows for the Workbench ImageFX.
