This blog a Mixer Tool calculation sheet. Publishing a temporary material because it takes time to write about ...

Thus it is not possible to change to 255 x 255 to have all the inputs squared. The sheet works like this that an additional white is automatically mixed, and, if does not work it is switched to an additional black, automatically.
