Plate Tab
The Plate tab contains the primary tools for creating a clean plate. Using this tab, you drag over
the areas in the viewer, and then use the Erode and Grow Edges sliders to create the
clean plate.
Method
The Method menu selects the type of color selection you use when sampling colors in
the viewer.
Color: Color uses a difference method to separate the background color. This works
well on screen colors that are even.
Ranges: Ranges uses a chroma range method to separate the background color.
This is a better option for shadowed screen or screens that have different colors.
Matte Threshold
This range slider sets the lower threshold using the handle on the left and sets the upper
threshold using the handle on the right.
Any value below the lower threshold becomes black or transparent in the matte.
Any value above the upper threshold becomes white or opaque in the matte. All values within
the range maintain their relative transparency values. This control is often used to reject salt
and pepper noise in the matte.
