220 Chapter 10 Secondaries
Note: The Matte Preview Mode and Vignette Outline only appear in the Preview display
of the Scopes window when the Previews tab in the Secondaries room is selected.
 Vignette previews: The left-hand image shows you the position and size of the
currently selected vignette shape, when enabled. When you use the Square or Circle
vignettes, this window also contains an onscreen control you can use to move, resize,
and soften the vignette. If you’ve selected a User Shape in the Geometry room
instead, you’ll see a non-editable outline of that shape. More information about
vignettes appears in the next section.
 HSL qualifier previews: The right-hand image shows you the matte that’s being
generated by the HSL qualifiers. This window does not include the mask that’s
generated by the vignette controls, nor does it display the HSL matte as it appears
when the key blur parameter is used. (The final HSL matte as it’s modified by both
vignetting and key blur is only visible in the Preview display when the Matte Preview
Mode is set to Matte Only.)
The white areas of the mask indicate the parts of the image that are selected with
the current qualification settings, that will be affected by the adjustments you make.
The black areas of the image are the parts of the picture that remain unaffected.
 Matte Preview Mode buttons: These buttons control what is visible in the Preview
display in the Scopes window. There are three modes:
 Final Image: Shows a preview of how the final effect looks. This is similar to the
ordinary preview that’s displayed in the Scopes window, except that it also shows
the vignette outline, when enabled.
 Desaturated Preview: The areas of the image that are selected with the current
qualification settings appear in color, while the areas of the image that remain
unaffected are desaturated and appear monochrome.
