Flare 1 Settings
Cool
Restores cooler colors, such as blue, green and cyan.
Skin Tone
Restores the color of natural skin tones that may have been changed by spill suppression.
Light Warm
When advanced flare is enabled, this setting recovers lighter, warmer colors,
such as red, yellow and orange. This setting interacts with the skin tones setting.
Black, Gray and White Balance
Use this setting to color correct the spill suppression in the tonal regions of the foreground,
such as the shadows, mid tones and highlights.
Flare Level
When advanced flare controls are enabled, this setting adjusts the overall amount
of spill suppression for certain foreground colors.
Holdout Matte Flare Button
When a holdout matte is used to stop the compositing process in portions of the foreground
scene, spill suppression on the foreground becomes slightly more complicated. In some
situations, removing spill suppression from the entire scene would result in a more convincing
look. In other situations, no spill suppression in the holdout matte area would be the
best choice.
When holdout matte flare is disabled, spill suppression is not performed in the holdout matte
region. When enabled, spill suppression is removed from the entire foreground scene.
Flare 2 Settings
Flare Correct Horizontal or Vertical Size
Flare correction analyzes the spill suppression in the transition areas and lets you make subtle
corrections. For example, neutralizing small color discrepancies, or luminance variations that
may be affecting fine edges in the transition area.
You can adjust the size of the area around the pixels of interest that Ultimatte will use to analyze
the spill suppression. This area is defined via pixel width and line height. When the size is set to
0, no flare correction is applied.
Dark Warm
When advanced flare is enabled, this control can help to restore brown colors, for green screen,
and purple colors, for blue screen. This control interacts with skin tones settings.
