  • a better way to key water

    I am keying the Water Tides 2 element over an image. Basically it is water splashing around over a black background. The options in blend are luma, screen, etc. Screen seems to work best but the highlights are pretty transparent. Any suggestions on making the water more visible?
    I am playing with contrast and threshold. While they do make the highlights more visible it is losing its detail.
    thanks

    emitters have not worked for me, I need more of a water slowing filling the screen.
