\begin{enumerate}
\item There are color strips under color Adjustment which will show color changes as you modify values.
\item Uncheck Mark Selected Areas and check the Filter Active box to the right of Color Adjustment.
- \item As needed, you can individually check and uncheck all the various parameters using the boxes to the left of each line. Again, these are intuitive and broadly similar to the above. The arrows at the bottom widen the range, the circle at the bottom moves the range, and the top slider, which is an arrow this time, affects distribution. It provides a little histogram effect to give you an idea of what you're changing. The fade adjusts the level of color blending. The alpha is basically the opacity of your changes.

RGBA = red/green/blue color planes, alpha data plane.
YUVA = luma/Cb/Cr color values, alpha data plane.
-The alpha data normally is input to the blending operations in the patchbay overlay mode. The alpha data usually creates the appearance of stacking order, and determines which color planes are visible in the rendered result. When BlueBanana is used, the meaning of the alpha data is changed to the selection. It is useful to think of the alpha data as more solid when it is transparency in blending, and more selected when it is used in BlueBanana. In both cases, the greater the alpha value, the more the effect is expressed.

It is useful to think of the alpha data as more solid then it is transparency in blending, and more selected when it is used in BlueBanana. In both cases, the greater the alpha value, the more the effect is expressed.
-Usually, alpha is normalized to a range from $0$ to $1$, zero = no effect, $1$ = total effect, $0.5$ = partial effect. In both cases, alpha is what math people call an auxiliary variable. It is needed, but is not part of the answer. In this case, the answer is the visible rendered result. Alpha is like meta-data.

Note that the "alpha" slider works with both "Filter Active" and "Mask Selection" checkboxes
+checked. The "Filter Active" checkbox enables the options: red, green, blue, hue, saturation, value, fade, alpha. If "Mask Selection" is not checked "alpha" will not work.
Let us now examine the instruments in \textbf{pane 1}:
\item[Alpha determines radius] use alpha to define the amount of blur to apply. (radius=gray value of alpha)
\item[Blur alpha, red, green, blue] specifies which color channels is to be blurred.

+If you are getting confusing results with old projects it may be a
+result of the discontinued parameter \textit{alpha determines radius}.
+For compatibility reasons and for possible future development it
+has been left in the code but hidden in the plugin's GUI.
+The parameter for \textit{alpha determines radius} is
+\texttt{A\_KEY}, which can be 0 or 1. When you press the
+\texttt{Reset} button in the Blur plugin window \texttt{A\_KEY=0}.
+
+Old projects may have saved that parameter (A\_KEY) to 1 instead
+of 0 and that may present a problem so you should do one of
+the following workarounds to change it to 0. Then be sure to save
+your project with these changes applied.
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Click on the \textit{Reset} button in the dialogue/controls popup box and re-enter any of your other parameter desired values.
+ \item OR in the \CGG{} program, open the project. Click on the cog icon
+(\textit{Preset edit}) of the Blur effect bar and the \textit{Keyframe
+parameters} window is open. There, you can see the A\_KEY parameter
+and change it: select the \texttt{A\_KEY} parameter and in the
+\texttt{Edit value} box, change it from 1 to 0, then press the \texttt{OK}
+button.

-When using the X11 graphics driver and RGBA-FLOAT color model, this plugin allows for greater than (0 - 1.0f) values. This does not work when using X11-OpenGL because it is an 8-bit limited driver. Both the Color wheels and the Saturation and Value sliders will make it possible to work with HDR video.
