Is there a way to create soft edges for the lights. When I have all of my lights on they create weird shapes on the stage and do not blend together. When the lights have different colored filters in them then it looks really weird. It would be great if the lights could blend so I don't see the lines. Is this even possible to do? If so how.

Hi stagedude,

Could it be that your machine isn't running our "Polar graphics"? If you open the About window from the Help menu, do all the tests pass?

So I finally have time again to play around, oops, I mean work in capture again. I've checked that all the graphics test pass. I use ETC Source four lights in my theatre and would love to focus the lights in Capture to a soft edge. This would help with using gobos that I don't want to have clean edges but use as a texture. I found that the ETC Parnel fixture has a nice soft edge in capture that mixes well. If giving the source fours the ability to focus is not possible could a custom fixture be made using the ETC Parnel as the light source? I need a light that works like the Source 4 but looks like the ETC Parnel. Thanks for all you work on this great program.

Hi stagedude,

Soft edging profiles is on our todo-list at the moment and I'm afraid there is no workaround!
