zMatte zMatte is a full-featured blue and green screen keyer that is the result of the experience Digital Film Tools has in creating hundreds of successful blue and green screen composites. Using proprietary matte extraction techniques and 16-bit processing, zMatte quickly and simply creates mattes with minimal parameters even if you are dealing with fine hair detail, smoke, or reflections. It is easy to use, yet provides the needed tools when faced with good, bad, or ugly shots - tools such as multiple matte creation, automatic spill suppression, sophisticated matte and edge manipulation, light wrapping and color correction.
