Radial Color group
The Radia l Color settings affect the inner and
outer colors of the effect. You can set the color
swatches to set the inner and outer colors of t he
Lens Effect. Each color swatch has a percentage
spinner that determines at what point that color
should stop and the next should start. You can
also use bitmaps such as gradient or cellular to
determine the radial color.

in which you can set weights for the
colors used in Radial Color. By manipulating the
Falloff Curve y ou can make the effect use more of
one color or map than the other. You can also use
a map to determine the falloff when a light is used
as a Lens Effects source.

byusingfourdifferentcolorswatchesthatare

Determines the radial size around the p art icular
Lens Effect. Clicking the Size Curve button
displays the
Radial Size dialog (page 3–255) .
Using the Radial Size dia log you can create points
