ILM Visual Effects Supervisor Scott Squires' company Puffin Designs has begun
shipping a Windows version of the already available MAC software 'Composite
Wizard.' The Adobe After Effects plug-in is a smart little program which
gives artists the power to clean up After Effects composites quickly and
easily, fixing common compositing problems such as ragged edges, poor matte
extractions, and improper focal depth cues. The package features over 20
filters which can be used to clean up mattes, along with 'EZ' versions of
Deluxe Edge Finder, Edge Blur, Matte Feather and Spill Killer; tools all
present in other Puffin products. Developed alongside leading
post-production facilities, Composite Wizard provides 2D artists with
superior compositing tools for a mere $695 (US). For more information,
