Re: Luma keying

Hey Bruce,
"You've been in the industry from 1976", (around when i started walkin)......
Trust Me, thats a long and accomplished career,i can only fathom the experiences
gained and the vast changes in this
industry that you have seen throughout.

Here is the thing....the luminance key in the mask generator can
be tricky to get right at times, and for certain fx, takes a lot
of tweaking to get there, as you are probably experiencing. So
alternately if you want to show detail in the darker areas of
your shot, you can use the "color curves" or the "levels" filter,
not many realize the value of these filters. Try it, i am sure
with a few tweaks you can get your shots looking
the way you want...probably no need to go
through the extra steps for keying....let
me know if these Help.
