Here we see how to join those multiple efforts together into a single uberkey, and a unified, despilled image. So let's cruise in here and start by taking a look at our split soft key. Here at the main key, we switch to the alpha channel, we can see that we've got some noise out here, and of course we have our transparency problems here, but the real thing that we want is some better hair detail. We can see here that the hair detail has frankly been clobbered by our denoise routine.
