Controls

threshold
How strong an edge has to be to light up. Low, and the grain glows along with the shapes
softness
The width of the fade around a lit edge, so the neon has an edge of its own rather than a cut
glow
How far the light spreads from the wire. Small is a thin filament, large a halo over the whole frame
intensity
A number from 0 to 3, 1.2 by default.
keep
How much of the photograph stays under the glow. At zero it is pure neon on dark, which is the classic look
contrast
A number from -1 to 1, 0 by default.
glow color
A colour, #40ffd0 by default.
paper
A colour, #05070c by default.
