The second function is called

Color

and its use leads to the restoration to a uniform black

structure of the background.

It improves in particular the visibility of an object in the case of a significant difference in

luminance between the background and the object. This means that semi-transparent objects,

e.g. a glass or glasses, become more distinct. A view ‘before’ and ‘after’ an adjustment is

presented in the two pictures below.

A view ‘before’ and ‘after’

The Color function is also used to bring about another effect. Once the option Show alpha matte

is switched off and the real picture is restored, it is possible to eliminate unnatural outlines. This

can be done by improving the border value between the keyed colour and the object.
