XV. FOREGROUND CONTRAST / SATURATION MENU
1. FG Contrast RED
This control adjusts the contrast (mid gain) of the red component of the FG signal without
affecting the matte signal generation.
2. FG Contrast GREEN
This control adjusts the contrast (mid gain) of the green component of the FG signal without
affecting the matte signal generation
3. FG Contrast BLUE
This control adjusts the contrast (mid gain) of the blue component of the FG signal without
affecting the matte signal generation.
4. FG Contrast MASTER
This control adjusts the overall contrast of the FG subject in the composite without affecting the
quality of the composite. If the lighting contrast in the FG scene does not match that of the BG
scene, adjusting the FG Contrast Master control may produce a more convincing composite
image.
Any offsets in the contrast of the red, green and blue FG signals set by the individual FG Contrast
R, G, and B Contrast controls will be preserved when the FG Master Contrast control is adjusted.
5. FG Saturation RED
This control adjusts the saturation of the red component of the FG signal without affecting the
matte signal generation
