About Scale Layers

A Scale Layer scales the size of any Primitive Layer (Region Layer, Layer Gradients, etc.) below it. Scale Layer is part of Layers Transform category.

Parameters of Scale Layers

The parameters of the Scale Layers are:

Name

Value

Type

Type_real_icon.png Amount

1.000000

real

Type_vector_icon.png Origin

0.000000u,0.000000u

vector

The Amount parameter may take the inverse of the exponential function (the natural log), as a raw value. For example:

  • the natural log of 2.00 is 0.693147181, which up-scales to 200.0%

  • the natural log of 1.00 is 0.0, which scales by 0.0%

  • the natural log of 0.50 is -0.693147181, which down-scales to 50.0%

  • the natural log of 0.10 is -2.302585092994045, which down-scales to 10.0%

  • the natural log of 0.01 is -4.605170185988091, which down-scales to 1.0%

The Origin is the center of the scale.

In versions prior to 0.63.05 Scale Layer was called “Zoom layer”.
