G’MIC Montage node — Natron 2.5.0 documentation

# G’MIC Montage node

This documentation is for version 1.0 of G’MIC Montage (eu.gmic.Montage).

## Description

Instructions:

- Don’t forget to set the Input layers… option on the left if you have multiple input layers for your montage.

- The Custom layout parameter is only active when Montage type is set to Custom layout. This is basically a string containing expressions such as:

    \. H\(a,b\) or V\(a,b\) stand respectively for an horizontal and vertical merge of two blocks a and b\.

    \. R\(a\), stands for a 90\-deg\. rotated version of a block a\. Use RR\(a\) and RRR\(a\) for resp\. 180\-deg and 270\-deg\. rotations\.

    \. M\(a\), stands for a X\-mirrored version of a block a\. Use MRR\(a\) for a Y\-mirrored version of a\.

- A block a can be a layer index or a nested montage expression itself.

- Layer indices start from 0 (top layer) and are treated periodically.
