Mask Extractor

The Mask Extractor node lets you select objects or parts of your image by automatically separating the image into parts. Hold shift to add or hold Alt+Shift to subtract a part from your mask. You can preview both the original image and the mask you created by choosing the preferred option on the top right corner of the node.

Matte Grow / Shrink


The Matte Grow/Shrink node gives you additional control over your matte channel, allowing you to either shrink (choke) or expand it to achieve a cleaner matte output. You can adjust the matte using the slider at the bottom of the node. This node is especially useful for refining and defining masks.
