Difference Colour


Overview

The Difference family of nodes finds the difference of the two input values. The difference is the absolute value of the Input value minus the Input 2 value:

Output = absolute value of( Input minus Input 2 )

For more information about absolute values, see the documentation for the Abs Colour node.

For colours the calculation is done on a component-wise basis, for example:

Output.red = difference of Input.red and Input 2.red
Output.green = difference of Input.green and Input 2.green
Output.blue = difference of Input.blue and Input 2.blue

These nodes just have one other setting, which lets you choose a node for Input 2.


Settings:

  • Name: This setting allows you to apply a descriptive name to the node, which can be helpful when using multiple Difference colour nodes in a project.
  • Enable: When checked, the node is active, and when unchecked the node is ignored.
  • Input 2: This is where you specify the node for the Input 2 value.
