There are 4 add-on effects
in FantaFace Mixer: background (color and image), mask, foreground and light.
Click the Composite Effects button (
)
to open the window below.

Background
As described in "How to Use 32-bit with Alpha Images", if the source images are 32-bit with alpha, the composite can be smoothly blended with any single color or any other image as a background. If the source images are not 32-bit (in most cases, you will find 24-bit images), you must first use a mask, otherwise, the background will be invisible.
1. Click the Select Color button (
)
to select a pure color as the background color.
2. Click the Select Effect button (
),
then choose an image file as the Background.
3. You may click the Set Effect Location button (
)
to adjust the size and relative position of the Background effect.

4. Click the Clear Effect button (
)
to clear it.
Mask
The mask image should be 256 level grayscale bitmap. The brightness of every pixel of the mask image will be applied to the transparency of the corresponding pixel of the composite. That means a white pixel will cause the corresponding composite pixel to be opaque, a black pixel will cause a fully transparent pixel, and various levels of gray will cause corresponding levels of transparency. In a word, when you add a mask to a composite, the composite will take on the mask shape.
Foreground
The foreground should be a 32-bit with alpha image that you choose to overlay on the composite to make a photo frame, text caption or other such effect.
Light
The light image should be a 256
level grayscale bitmap. The brightness of every pixel of the light image will be
applied to the brightness of the corresponding pixel of the composite. That
means a bright pixel will cause the corresponding composite pixel to be a little
brighter, a dark pixel will cause the corresponding composite pixel to be a
little darker. You can adjust the light intensity by Bright Intensity and
Dark Intensity (
).
Remarks
• Some outdated display drivers won't be able to render the add-on effects properly.
