Fine-tuning a runaround path
When you choose Auto Image, Embedded Path, Alpha Channel, Non-White
Areas, or Same As Clipping from the Type drop-down menu in the Runaround
tab of the Measurements palette, the following fields let you manipulate the
runaround path:
Outset changes the size of the runaround path. Positive values result in a 1.
runaround path that is further from the original setting, negative values
decrease the amount of image included in the runaround path.
Noise lets you specify the smallest allowable closed path. Any closed path 2.
smaller than the noise value is ignored. Noise values are useful for cleaning up
runaround paths and making them easier to output.
Smoothness lets you control path accuracy. A lower value creates a more 3.
complex path with a greater number of points. A higher value creates a less
accurate path.
Threshold determines how “white” is defined. All pixels defined as “white” are 4.
excluded. For example, if the Threshold value is 20%, and a pixel’s gray value is
below or at 20%, the pixel will be considered “white” and excluded from the
runaround path.
