The mask options let you draw a garbage matte to limit the area of the image to which the operator is applied. You can also
control which channels the operator affects.
Shape Tools
Allow you to draw, edit, and manipulate one or more shapes that can be used as a garbage matte.
|
Manipulates the entire shape outline.
|
|
Rotates one or more entire shape outlines about their respective pivot points.
|
|
Allows you to edit the control points around a shape outline so you can change its shape and size.
|
|
Creates a new point. Select Add Point then click on the outline where you want the new point to appear.
|
|
Draws a line as you drag around the image. When you release the mouse button, the start and end points of the line are joined,
control points are placed near the traced line and a bezier curve is created through them.
|
|
Creates polygonal shapes; these are drawn as a series of straight lines between mouse clicks. When you click again at the
start of the first line, the last line is joined to the first. Each click point becomes a control point.
|
|
Creates bezier shapes; these are drawn as a series of straight lines between mouse clicks. When you click again at the start
of the first line, the last line is joined to the first. Each click point becomes a control point.
|
|
Creates B-Spline shapes; these are drawn as a series of curves between mouse clicks. When you click again at the start of
the first curve, the last curve is joined to the first. Each click point becomes a control point.

Key Points
|
Sets keys for all points on the selected shape(s)
|
|
Sets keys for the selected points on the selected shape.
|
|
Enables autokey mode, but only for garbage matte shapes.
|
|
Inverts all garbage matte shapes associated with the operator. If the shapes are revealing the effect, inverting them will
hide it, and vice-versa.
|
|
Deletes the selected shape(s).
|
|
Opens the selected shape's property editor, from which you can transform the shape and/or invert it.
|
|
Opens a pop-up explorer, with the selected shape's node expanded. This is useful when you want to mark several parameters
for animation.
|
|
Applies the garbage matte to the image's alpha channel.
|
|
Controls a defocusing effect applied to the shape outlines. Use the slider to set a value between 0 an 50. The higher the
value, the greater the blur.
|
|
Specifies which of the input image's RGBA channels the operator is applied to.
|
|
Toggles the garbage mattes on and off.
