Bahtinov mask red screen

#1

Post by RobertH »

I'm getting a red background which makes it very hard to see the lines.
Is this the standard screen color or can i change some settings to make it black?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert,

The red shading highlights the areas of the screen that are darker than the 'Black Threshold' setting as set in the Bahtinov mask controls. Those areas are being ignored for the purposes of calculating the lines. It sounds like maybe you have the black threshold set quite high, causing this red area to be very tightly wrapped around the bahtinov pattern, so try turning it down a little.

Hope this helps,

Robin
