that is exactly what I've been thinking...
maybe you mean masks?

Mr Fred · 18-10-2003, 18:26

thats what i thought but i am thinking of channels (green screen)

dorian · 18-10-2003, 18:34

i call it blue screen....
but it's nothing to do with Photoshop - unless needed for Aftereffects... but that I don't know much about...

Mr Fred · 18-10-2003, 18:40

blue indeed - green ??? wtf

dorian · 18-10-2003, 18:51

they do call it green as well...
think they started using green instead of blue *lately*.... better masking i guess.........

Matting in photoshop is a way of defringing layers - so if you have some flattened text anti aliased against a black background you can use the matting option to alter the anti alias colour so it'll sit against a non black background without any odd fringing. You can do a similar thing from the layer styles palette.
