• Outside: When set to Outside, all adjustments you make in that tab affect the exterior
of the secondary matte (the area in black). Making a darkening adjustment to the
outside of a softly feathered circle matte that surrounds the entire frame is one way
of creating a traditional vignette effect.

• Copy Inside to Outside: Copies the correction that’s currently applied to the inside of
the matte to the outside as well. This is a handy operation if you want to copy the
same correction to the outside as a prelude to making a small change, so that the
difference between the corrections applied to the inside and the outside is not so
large.
• Copy Outside to Inside: Copies the correction that’s applied to the outside to the
inside.
• Swap: Switches the corrections that are applied to the inside and outside of the
secondary matte, so that they’re reversed.
The Secondary Curves Explained
The secondary curves are a deceptively powerful set of controls that allow you to make
very small or large adjustments to the hue, saturation, and luminance of an image based
solely on regions of hue that you specify using control points on a curve.
Important: Curves cannot be animated with keyframes, although just about every other
parameter in the Secondaries room can be.
