The image and video transform nodes faded the picture into the fill
colour across the feather ramp. Outpaint models read that ramp as
content (the Qwen 2.1 outpaint LoRA painted a darker band along a tilted
edge, LTX's IC-LoRA left feathered bars unpainted), and the stitcher
kept the faded pixels, so Stitch's colour match measured its drift
against them and pulled the fill toward grey (d(ab) 18.5 at feather 24 on
a straight pad, 2.6 now). Feather now shapes only the mask and the stitch
blend built from it; the picture keeps a hard edge against the fill, so a
feathered canvas is the feather-0 canvas pixel for pixel.
Image Crop + Rotate + Pad gains the clip node's optional stitch_blend
(32) and stitch_grow (0) inputs, and its editor shows the same Inpaint &
Stitch section with Show blend. The editor's live fade overlay goes with
the fade.
