Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
Transforming an image in three-dimensional coordinate space
Use the following procedure.
1
With the region selection buttons, select the target channel of the
operation.
You can press several of the buttons simultaneously to select several
channels. In this case, the button that you pressed first lights in green,
while buttons pressed subsequently light in amber.
2
With the function assignment buttons, select the three-dimensional
coordinate space in which to perform the transformation.
LOCAL button: Selects local coordinate space.
GLB button: Selects global coordinate space. You can select this button
and the [LOCAL] button simultaneously.
SRC button: Selects the source coordinate space.
TRGT button: Selects the target coordinate space.
([SRC] and [TRGT] cannot be selected at the same time.)
3
Press the button for the operation you want to do, turning it on, to select
the transformation mode.
The trackball and Z-ring are assigned to the selected three-dimensional
coordinate space transformation mode.
For details of the three-dimensional transformation operation modes, see
“Transformation Operation Modes” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1).
To move the image: Press the [LOC XYZ] button, turning it on.
You can move the image on the x- and y-axes with the trackball and
move it on the z-axis with the Z-ring. Pressing the [LOC SIZE] button
instead of the [LOC XYZ] button, turning it on, makes it possible to
move the image on the x- and y-axes.
To rotate the image: Press the [ROT] button, turning it on.
You can rotate the image on the x- and y-axes with the trackball and
rotate it on the z-axis with the Z-ring.
To rotate the image in Spin mode, press the [ROT] button, turning it
on, while holding down the [SHIFT] button. You can operate in the
same way with the trackball and Z-ring.
To move an axis of rotation: With the [SRC] button selected in step 2,
press the [AXIS LOC] button, turning it on.
You can move the axis of rotation of the image on the x- and y-axes of
the image with the trackball, and on the z-axis with the Z-ring.
To magnify or shrink the image: Press the [LOC SIZE] button, turning
it on.
