Richmond, VA - Sept. 10, 1996. Digital Dominion announced their Photoshop for Windows compatible plug-in Cinematte. Cinematte brings high-end digital blue and green screening within everyone's reach with this plug-in. Blue screening techniques have long been a staple of film and video productions, but offer exciting possibilities to web designers and print artists for creating instant transparencies.

Blue Screening for Video and FIlm

Cinematte represents a major step forward for the Photoshop/Windows platform in achieving completely professional results for blue screening for video and film.

Cinematte offers the user a choice of keying out blue or green screen background, and a wealth of controls that allow you to maintain soft edges, hair, smoke, shadows, transparencies and more. Since a typical user of blue screening software often has to work with whatever footage they're given, Cinematte has special controls to allow you to make corrections for bad lighting and unwanted artifacts on the screen itself. Cinematte's proprietary A.I. agorithms can automatically determine your screen color and correct for underlit or overlit screens as well.

Instant Full Color Clipart with Transparency for Print Applications

Cinematte isn't just for video and film! Photographers, Multimedia Artists and people working in the Print industry need Cinematte as well. Cinematte is the perfect application for saving you money and time. When you need a full color image with a transparent background, typically you'll have to resort to expensive stock photography that's not quite what you wanted or you'll have to use an artist to laboriously remove the background from your photographs.

No More! The same controls that make Cinematte the perfect application for video and film make it perfect for everyone needing images with transparent backgrounds. Combine your camera, an inexpensive blue screen and Cinematte to create fantastic full color clipart against a transparent background in practically no time at all. Even better, Cinematte works perfectly within Photoshop's layers to produce as many blue screened layers as you'd like!

So long as your people or objects are photographed against a blue, or green, screen, Cinematte can work with Photoshop and a PhotoCD image to produce the images you need in a timely fashion at a bargain price.

Cinematte is compatible with the following:

• Photoshop 3.04 and 3.05
