13.26 Center Guide
Overview
The Center Guide filter places a horizontal and a vertical guide on your image.
Center Guide Options
Center Guide Settings
Physical This checkbox will place the guides in the exact pixel center of the image.
Optical This checkbox will place the guides in the optical center of the image. The
optical center differs in that it represents more what the human eye and brain
visualize as the center of the image.

13.27 Checkerboard
Overview
The Checkerboard filter is a straight-forward check renderer. There are two options
available for this filter. Checkerboard Options
Checkerboard Settings
Check Size The Check Size slider adjusts the size of the squares in pixels. A higher
setting, obviously, results in larger squares. For fine tuning, a text-entry box is
provided. Of note is the coloring of the checks. Only two colors are used. These
are set by changing the Foreground and Background colors in the Toolbox.
Psychobilly The Psychobilly checkbox, although not self-explanatory, is quite sim-
ple. Checking this option will result in the size of the squares being increased
incrementally starting from the top-left corner of the image window. This gives an
appearance of a three dimensional plateau.
As with most render filters, Checkerboard is destructive.
