58 3. Basic operations [Spill–] [Spill+] In these modes, the noise in the foreground image can be removed or restored step by step through repeated sampling. [+] Spill [–] [Matte–] [Matte+] In these modes, the matte information is adjusted. If, for instance, the area of shadow in the foreground image is to be made lighter, use [Matte-] to adjust. Conversely, to make it darker, use [Matte+]. Transparent images such as images of smoke or water can be made to stand out more. [–] Matte [+]
59 3. Basic operations [Detail–] [Detail+] In these modes, the noise in the background image can be removed step by step. This is a useful way of adjusting images lost by other sampling operations to adjust the texture or transparency of images. [–] Detail [+] [MatSpng] In this mode, the semi-transparent parts of the subject in a foreground image are selected and made matte (non-transparent). Unlike [Cln.FG] on the Sample1 sub menu, the color information is not changed in the process. With [Cln.FG], the colors of the selected parts are restored to their original colors but, with [MatSpng], only the semi-transparent keys are made matte (non-transparent) while the colors remain unchanged and the original colors are not restored. [MkFGTrn] In this mode, the transparency of areas with a low transparency in the foreground image is increased. This is useful when, for instance, areas covered with dark smoke or clouds in a foreground image are to be made semi-transparent. [RstrDtl] In this mode, the transparency of areas with a high transparency in the background image is reduced. This is useful when, for instance, restoring the details of an image (such as an image with a subject who has loose hair or an image with smoke), which have been lost as a result of a [ClnBG] or other such operation on the Sample1 sub menu, to what they were in the original image.
60 3. Basic operations [FineTun] In this mode, detailed images can be adjusted. On the CHR KEY menu, turn [F1] to display the FineTun sub menu. CHRKEY 4 | View | Spill | Trans | Detail FineTun | Cmpsit| 0| 0| 0 Turn [F2] to select [Cmpsit] using the View item. Turn [F3] to remove or restore the noise using the Spill item. When it is turned clockwise, a large amount of noise is removed from the foreground image, and the image colors increasingly approach the complementary color (opposite color) of the blue screen. When it is turned counterclockwise, the image colors approach the colors of the original foreground image. By turning [F4] clockwise, the matte of the colors closely resembling the colors of the foreground image can be adjusted using the Trans item. This is useful when, for instance, making the parts covered by dark smoke, clouds or other such objects in the foreground image semi-transparent. By turning [F5] clockwise, the matte information for the colors closely resembling the colors of the background image can be adjusted using the Detail item. This is useful when, for instance, restoring the details of an image (such as an image with a subject who has loose hair or an image with smoke), which have been lost in the foreground image as a result of sampling, to what they were in the original image.
