Hi Tony,
Apologies for the confusion – the manual which shipped with After Effects contained some outdated tutorials. A new version, which covers the updated operation, is available on our website. If you go to http://www.thefoundry.co.uk then go to Downloads->for After Effects->Keylight and click on the manual link.
One of the changes, as you have noticed, is to change the bias controls from sliders to colour pickers. Essentially you use these to pick the pervading foreground colour, so generally skin tone if it’s talent against screen type shots. The lack of a gang control is actually a small bug which will be fixed in an upcoming release of Keylight. In the vast majority of shots you need the biases to be set to the same colour, so, in the meantime, remember to pick the same colour for each.HTH!

Thank you Jack, that is how I’ve been using it, by picking the pervading foreground color. I will look for the updated manual.
If anyone has more information on how to best use the Foreground and Edge Colour settings I’d like to see it.
P.S.
Just a note for Jack. The file name for the manual in the Keylight plugin folder was Keylight1.1v1.pdf. The file name for the manual I downloaded is Keylight1.1v1_AE.pdf. I saw the version numbers and thought they were the same.Thanks again,
TonyTony
