	Digital Film Tools zMatte is a full-featured keyer that is the result of their experience in creating hundreds of successful blue and green screen composites. Using proprietary matte extraction techniques, zMatte quickly and simply creates mattes with minimal parameters even if you are dealing with fine hair detail, smoke, or reflections. It is easy to use, yet provides the needed tools when faced with good, bad, or ugly shots - tools such as multiple matte creation, automatic spill suppression, sophisticated matte and edge manipulation, and color correction. Deartifact Deartifact is handy for cleaning up artifacts caused by DV and HD video footage. In fact, it is useful for cleaning up images that have aliased or jaggy edges. Edge Edge automatically generates an edge matte from an existing alpha channel and allows you to color correct or blur only the edge of the foreground. You can also mix the edge of the foreground with the background. This is very helpful for seamlessly integrating images as well as dealing with aliased mattes. Holdout To add practical fire, explosions, smoke or other footage not containing an alpha channel, is normally a challenge. A normal Math Composite Add function would cause areas of the background to get brighter. This is bad. Using a key of some type would most likely generate unwanted, dark edges. This is also bad. Holdout effectively composites images such as fire, explosions and smoke.

It is easy to use, yet provides the needed tools when faced with good, bad, or ugly shots — tools such as multiple matte creation, automatic spill suppression, sophisticated matte and edge manipulation, and color correction. Light Wrap Light Wrap helps blend the foreground into the background by making the color of the background "wrap" into the foreground edges without softening the edge. Matte Generator The Matte Generator extracts and creates mattes using advanced matte extraction techniques. Methods of matte extraction are luma, hue, saturation, average, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Matte Repair Matte Repair grows, shrinks or blurs a matte. It also is handy for cleaning up impurities in the black or white areas of the matte.
