First, default tolerance comparison effect

When we use the image comparison function of Beyond Compare file comparison tool , the function panel will display two pictures that need to be compared in the upper part, while the lower part will display the comparison results of the two pictures in different modes.

The example below shows the comparison results of two pictures in tolerance mode. The larger the tolerance, the larger the color range that can be accommodated, which means the smaller the range of different pixels in the two images. The Beyond Compare file comparison tool uses red to display different pixels and blue to display the same pixels by default. In this setting, the visual effect is not very good, we can change these color settings.
