S_GrungeSimulates many different kinds of grunge including dirt, stains, flecks, grime, scratches, and paint. Up to three different kinds of grunge can be combined. There are master controls for adjusting all grunge together as well as a set of detailed controls for adjusting the look of each of the grunge collections.In the Sapphire Render effects submenu.

Combine:
Popup menu, Default: Comp
.
Determines how the grunge image is combined with the background.
-
Grunge Only:
gives only the grunge image with no background.
- Comp: composites the grunge image over the background.
- Mult: this can be used as an 'intersection' operation on matte images. White is the identity for Multiply, where one image contains white the other is not affected, so the result only contains white where both inputs are white.
- Add: causes the grunge image to be added to the background.
- Screen: performs a blend function which can help prevent overly bright results.
- Difference: similar to Subtract but the absolute value of the result is used, which tends to give more resulting colors in bounds. This can be used to select the regions of two matte images where one or the other is white, but not both.
- Subtract: subtracts the grunge image from the background.
- Overlay: combines foreground and background using an overlay function.
- Hard Light: similar to overlay but with foreground and background swapped.
- Soft Light: darkens or lightens the background depending on the foreground.
- Color Dodge: brightens the background depending on the grunge image.
- Color Burn: darkens the background depending on the grunge image.
- Darken: the minimum of grunge image and background. This can also be used as an 'intersection' operation with slightly different results than Multiply.
- Lighten: the maximum of grunge image and background. This can also be used as a 'union' operation with slightly different results than Screen.
- Exclusion: similar to Difference but with smoother results.
- Linear Dodge: adds the grunge image to the background and clamps the result at white.
- Linear Burn: adds the grunge image to the background but offsets to make the result darker. Similar to multiply in that combining with white gives no change and combining with black gives black.
- Linear Light: performs a linear burn or linear dodge depending on if the foreground is more or less than 50 percent gray.
- Comp: composites the grunge image over the background.
-
Grunge Only:
gives only the grunge image with no background.
-
Use Bg Alpha:
Check-box, Default:
off.
When enabled, ignore the alpha generated by the grunge and use the alpha from the background.
-
Scale Background:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the background before combining with the grunges. If 0, the result will contain only the grunge image over black.
-
Blur Mask:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas. It has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Invert Mask:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If on, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white. This has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Mask Use:
Popup menu, Default: Luma
.
Determines how the Mask input channels are used to make a monochrome mask.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
-
Crop Grunge To Mask:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Controls whether the grunge has a sharp edge along the edge of the mask. If enabled, the grunge will crop to the mask. This allows grunge to be applied to specific sections of the input clip. If disabled, each grunge stamp will be checked against the mask. If most of the grunge stamp falls inside the mask, the entire grunge stamp will be added. If most of the grunge stamp falls outside the mask, the entire grunge stamp will be hidden. This allows for a Vignette like application of grunge.
-
Flip Stamps Vertically:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Flips stamps vertically if needed to achieve a consistent look.
-
Show Emboss Light Angle:
Check-box, Default:
on.
Turns on or off the screen user interface for adjusting the Frame Center parameter.
-
Show Frame Radius:
Check-box, Default:
on.
Turns on or off the screen user interface for adjusting the Frame Center parameter.
-
Show Frame Center:
Check-box, Default:
on.
Turns on or off the screen user interface for adjusting the Frame Center parameter.
