What does the Threshold effect do in Ether-MOSH?

It converts each pixel's weighted RGB brightness through one global Cutoff into an almost black-white result, with Edge Softness optionally widening the boundary into a grayscale transition.

Is Ether-MOSH Threshold the same as Otsu or adaptive thresholding?

No. Otsu automatically selects a global threshold from a histogram, and adaptive methods vary the threshold by local region. Ether-MOSH uses one manual Cutoff for the whole frame.

Where is Threshold, and what settings should I start with?

Open the FX panel, choose Color Chaos, and add Threshold. Start at Cutoff 0.52 and Edge Softness 0.04, tune Cutoff for the important silhouette, then adjust the transition width.

How do I use a threshold effect accessibly in print, Lottie, or projection?

Keep meaningful text as real text outside the effect, preserve essential shapes with more Edge Softness when needed, proof physical and vector output, avoid rapid large-area brightness reversals, test flash thresholds, and offer a clean alternate.

Make the Threshold Effect Stop Judging Every Pixel

A tonal-boundary hearing on binary verdicts, softened edges, silhouette history, and the global cutoff currently denying every midtone an appeal.

Quick answer

Ether-MOSH Threshold is a Color Chaos effect that turns each source pixel into a black-white or softened grayscale decision. Cutoff chooses the weighted-brightness boundary; Edge Softness widens the transition around it without blurring neighboring pixels. Start at Cutoff 0.52 and Edge Softness 0.04, then protect type, faces, and any detail whose meaning cannot survive a binary verdict.
