Composite TOP Translate Step: F vs. P

I have a question concerning the translate step in the composite TOP. I was looking at the OP snippets for that particular trick and I noticed something strange. Constant 1 has 512 X512 res, the other 3 constants are each 64x64. In the composite, they obviously put constant 1 as the fixed layer. When they did the translate step, they entered 1.5 as the offset. So this means that it is equivalent to the width of one small constant and a half. Ok makes sense so far! But if I change the unit of the translate step to pixels, the number becomes 768 pixels (which is 1.5 x the width of the fixed layer)! Is there a logical explanation or is this a systemic unresolved thing?

Hi @Chriis,

the values are in relation to the Fixed Layer so the Translate Step’s pixel values also in fractions of the Fixed Layers resolution. Arguable how useful as it’s easy to trip over, but generally you are independent from the second input resolution this way.
