ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at using multiple effects together. The possibilities are endless when we use effects together. The quality (and photorealism) of effects is often increased a great deal by adding one of the Color Correction effects. When keying footage, the Minimax effect or one of the Matte effects can often help the readers fix edge problems. When creating maps for other effects, many of the grayscale pattern generators—such as Ramp, Fractal Noise, or Wave World—can save the readers from having to go back to Photoshop to create those maps. There are so many times as a motion graphics artist when the readers are asked to create an original background or texture in an instant. When using effects for creative and artistic purposes, using multiple effects is critical.
