Viewing the key using the Highlight button
With the Highlight turned on, the lines you draw become invisible. They’ll reappear
whenever you turn the Highlight off.
4 If necessary, draw additional lines to add more of the image to the key you’re creating.
Ordinarily, it’s a good idea to not to draw more then two or three lines to sample the
part of the image you’re trying to isolate. Ideally, you want the key you’re pulling to
have a somewhat soft edge, which makes it easier to use the Matte Finesse controls
to fine-tune your result later on. If you draw too many lines to sample the image, the
result can be a key with hard, jagged edges that can sometimes be more difficult to
adjust later on.
