A recipe is a text string with script settings that follows a specific syntax. It contains a number of settings, separated by a ;
(semicolon) and an optional blank space for readability. All settings must always be specified and in the following order (the name of the setting in bold isn’t written in the recipe, only the value):
true
, the script will simulate a scan with visible scan mask edges. If you like a clean cropped look, set this to false
.true
the script will render halation on the film rebate adjacent to bright border pixels.true
the edges of the negative (adjacent to the rebate) will be burned and the contrast increased.true
scanner artefacts will be omitted and the outside of the black scanner mask will be transparent.true
the script will add artifacts at the outside of the mask border, often seen with real film as a consequence of the scanning and editing process. Set it to false
for a crisper look.true
Poserframes will render a grain-like noise on the rebate. Set it to false
if you intend to add grain to your image after Poserframes has run. If your image already has grain, there is a risk of interference effects around the edges. Instead, the option halation
, that only adds grain to the halation effect on the rebate, might be a better choice.-60
and 60
. For instance, 5
will systematically make the rebate five levels lighter and -5
five levels darker.1

the script may move the image relative to the mask in all four directions (up/down/left/right). When set to bottomright
it will only move it towards the bottom right corner and when set to topleft
towards the top left corner.true
a film burn effect will be rendered, while false
swithches the effect off.true
the rendered burn effect will have a jagged edge, similar to torn paper. If set to false
the burn edge will be smooth.2x3

or square
the automatic format detection will be overridden and negative variant and a mask variant in that format will be stretched to fit your image. This setting is optional.The full geeky syntax for a recipe looks like this:
[true|false]; [true|false]; [true|false]; [true|false]; [true|false]; [true|false|halation]; [-60-60]; [1-10]; [1-6]; [1-3]; [1-2]; [1-3]; [1-2]; [1-3]; [1-99]; [1-99]; [1-99]; [1-99]; [1-99]; [0-400]; [0-100]; [0-100]; [0-100]; [0-100]; [random|bottomright|topleft]; [1-100]; [1-100]; [1-100]; [1-100]; [true|false|monochrome]; [true|false]; [1-100]; [1-100](; [2x3|4x3|4x5|6x7|square])?
An actual recipe for the default settings, ready to copy-and-paste into Poserframes, looks like this:
true; true; true; false; true; false; 0; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 20; 20; 20; 20; 20; 100; 0; 40; 0; 40; random; 12; 12; 12; 12; false; true; 10; 30
