Adjusting the Colour and Opacity of a Matte Overlay

You can change the way a matte is displayed to help you easily view the isolated colour. The colour and opacity of the unselected region in a matte can be easily modified by adjusting the Matte Overlay parameters.

To adjust the colour and opacity of a matte overlay:

    Note: This procedure will not affect the output image.
  1. Select and then right-click a secondary on which a matte is present.
  2. Depending on your user settings, press F11 once or twice to enable the Matte view. See Display & Interface Settings.
  3. In the Setup menu, select Interface to display the Matte Overlay panel.
    Note: The default values are displayed.
