Changing How the Alpha Channel is Displayed

The alpha channel menu is located next to the color display menu at the bottom of the Monitor tab.

To toggle premultiply in the Monitor tab, select [Alpha display] > Premult (xA).

It is possible to display the alpha channel as an overlay (either as a mask or a matte). Using the alpha channel menu the overlay is set to one of three states:

• None - No alpha overlay is displayed.

• Mask - The area of the image with no alpha channel becomes the overlay color.

• Matte - The area of the image with an alpha is overlayed with the overlay color.

To change the color used for alpha overlays:

Select [Alpha display] > Set Overlay Color... .

The color picker dialog displays.

Select a color with the color picker.

Press OK.
