Inverted luminance mattes.

Reverse the bright/dark reveal relationship.

Reverse a luminance matte so darker regions reveal the footage. This radial grayscale source reveals the workshop in its dark center while the pale perimeter disappears into the canvas. The matte’s grayscale values and Luma Inverted mode remain editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. Create an eight-second silent Tesseract film study with “In the / shadows.” at left and moving workshop footage at right. Use a separate, fully opaque radial grayscale vector matte, black near the craftsperson and white at the perimeter, consumed through Luma Inverted. Darker areas reveal the film while the white perimeter disappears into Bone. Leave the film sharp and the mask editable; the soft boundary must come from luminance, not a blur on the footage.

Tesseract plugins and runtime downloads are coming soon.
