BCC+ Matte Refine ML
Category: BCC Key and Blend
Effect Name: BCC Matte Refine ML
The BCC+ Matte Refine ML filter, part of the BCC Key and Blend category, is an AI powered keying or masking companion, which enables users to recover fine detail from a live keyed source. Its only requirement is that the source input to the filter not be premultiplied or baked-in so that the RGB details can be recovered from the RGBA source, which means that, for the time being, this standalone filter is only available from within Adobe hosts. An integrated version of the Matte Refine ML filter is included in the BCC+ Pixel Chooser, which is available in all supported hosts and platforms.
