<![CDATA[Edge blend color & gamma questions]]>Edge blends reacts to color very differently and I am wondering how you guys deal with this. 
In an example with solid colors it will look absolutely seamless in green and turn into a disaster on yellow or white.
Any thoughts?

@bodo the built in softedge is kind of useless with the amount of distortion and mapping we have.

Never had any problems with Panasonics and PJLink. Happy to help if I can

The edge blend and colour matching your projectors should be regarded as 'calibrating your screen'; you create one big seamless screen. Once that has been set up properly, it's content-independent (there, I think I just made up a new word!)

For my understanding, is it a global adjustment based on the projectors nature or a scene to scene content based adjustment?

DLP usually does a better job than LCD based projectors.

Rather it uses the colors rgb (thats what comes from the projector). So in order to get a proper edge blend, apart from gamma adjustments (which do come into play) you'll need to access the red, green and blue parameters as well. Some projectors have edgeblend built in. Its important to get the same type of projectors. If your projectors aren't equipped with this technique, you"ll have to resort to dedicated software and preferably one which supports Syphon if you want to run yr show from within Isadora. There's Quartz Composer patches, Resolume Arena and Blendy. I understand Millumin has a built-in feature as well. Hope this helps
