Revealing Sources
The Reveal
tool allows you to paint the contents of one or more source front images
directly onto the result. You can also use the Reveal tool to copy source
matte images onto the output matte. For example, if one source has
a tree that you would like to include on the canvas, you can select
the source with the tree and then paint it onto the result.
To paint with a copy
of the result or output matte image, use the Clone tool. See
Clone.
NoteIf changes are made
upstream of the Paint node, revealed strokes are preserved. However,
the strokes will reflect the “old” input unless
you force an update by clicking the Update button or by pressing U. Updates are not performed automatically because
they affect system performance.
To
reveal a front or matte input:
- Select Reveal from the Paint Modes box
(or press E).
The Reveal Offset parameters
appear.
- Set the brush attributes. See
Brush Attributes and Attribute Modes.
- In the Sources list, select the source
you want to reveal.
NoteYou can reveal sources
that are marked as hidden in the Sources list. You will only be
able to view the strokes created with a source when you disable
Hide Strokes.
- To limit the revealed sources to the
areas delimited by their mattes, select an option in the Matte Source
box.
- To display the source as an overlay of
the result image, enable Overlay (Tab).
You can apply transformations to the source before you apply strokes:
- Click and drag on the canvas to apply
strokes that reveal the transformed contents of the selected source.
