Values appear there! Those are the RGB values of the image where the mouse is.
You??™ll see four values??”Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha. The first two sets of numbers
before the dashed line are the pixel number of the image.
The RGB values (118, 168, and 239, respectively) for the Low Clip Color setting
were determined using the Image Viewer. Cool, huh?
Note
5. Back in Layout, load the Moon object from this book??™s DVD. This is a simple flat
polygon, or plane, with a moon mapped onto it that you can use for compositing
in this exercise.Move the plane back into the frame and position it so that it??™s
rising up from behind the buildings, as in Figure 16.19.
You can set color values quickly by clicking and dragging each of the color values to
the desired color, in the Foreground Key settings.

Figure 16.19 Load the Moon object.
6. Press F9 to render a frame, and you??™ll see the moon scattered through the trees,
sky, and building, as in Figure 16.20.
Figure 16.20 Even though you??™ve set the High and Low Clip colors, the range is too small for
LightWave to key out the sky, so the moon is partially obscured.
