| **Axis Swizzle:** Here you can change the axis in the dropdown to match the Normal/Derivative maps for your engine or application as required, allowing you to save your preference so that it loads by default when Knald starts. By default Knald is set to X+Y+Z+, so if you are using a normal map that differs from this configuration, you will need to change this setting. To change this setting either use the dropdown menu or check the Flip Green check box. | **Axis Swizzle:** Here you can change the axis in the dropdown to match the Normal/Derivative maps for your engine or application as required, allowing you to save your preference so that it loads by default when Knald starts.
