Summary of Primatte interface

Primatte Keyer is known for its ease of use, speed and great keying results. Primatte works equally well with any color backing screen, although green or blue are the traditional colors. Its unique algorithm lets you pull the most difficult mattes, even from a person wearing a blue denim shirt and blue jeans in front of a bright blue screen.

The Primatte 5.1 interface is broken into logical groups for keying controls, selection controls, spill correction, detail touchup, color correction and advanced compositing.
