Apply PostFX Before Alpha Image Input (Legacy)
When enabled, the alpha input image is applied after the postfx pass, overwriting any effects the postfx would have applied to the alpha channel.
Iterations
How many levels of down sampling are generated.
Mode
Choose how the downsample output is filtered.

- Point Sampled : Only one point is sampled.
- Min Of Sampled : The minimum value of the points sampled is used.
- Max Of Sampled : The maximum value of the points is used.
- Bilinear Filtered : Linear blend is applied between pixels.
