• Vignette preview: The image on the left (above) shows you the position and size of the
currently selected vignette shape, when the Vignette button is enabled. When you use
the square or circle vignette, this window also contains an onscreen control you can
use to move, resize, and soften the vignette. If you’ve selected a user shape in the
Geometry room instead, you’ll see a noneditable outline of that shape. For more
information, see
Isolating a Region Using the Vignette Controls .
• HSL qualifier preview: The image on the right shows you the matte that’s being generated
by the HSL qualifiers. This window does not include the mask that’s generated by the
vignette controls, nor does it display the HSL matte as it appears when the Key Blur
parameter is used. (The final HSL matte as it’s modified by both vignetting and key blur
is visible in the preview display only when the Matte Preview Mode is set to Matte
Only.)
The white areas of the mask indicate the parts of the image that are selected with the
current qualification settings, that will be affected by the adjustments you make. The
black areas of the image are the parts of the picture that remain unaffected.
• Matte Preview Mode buttons: These buttons control what is visible in the preview display
in the Scopes window. There are three modes:
• Final image: Shows a preview of how the final effect looks. This is similar to the
ordinary preview that’s displayed in the Scopes window, except that it also shows
the vignette outline, when the Vignette button is enabled.
• Desaturated preview: The areas of the image that are selected with the current
qualification settings appear in color, while the areas of the image that remain
unaffected are desaturated and appear monochrome.
