We provide examples exploring color and double mattes as well as report the results from a perception study which may indicate an increase in perceived depth in matted imagery.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: 2D GraphicsEnhancing Perceived Depth in Images Via Artistic Matting
