Customizing the View
 
 
 

There are options for customizing the view on both the Navigation panel and the Function panel.

When working with secondaries, users can use the Function panel to view them in Saturated Mask view or Matte view. Saturated Mask view displays the range of colours you define through a greyscale image. The unselected colours remain grey. Matte view displays a black and white template indicating which parts of the image are transparent (black), and which are opaque and selected (white).

To access view options available on the Navigation panel:

  1. Press the top MORE button on the Navigation panel.
