Re: [FCP-L] Best way to Matte White Screen

Just to stir the pot, I was looking in the Help for Adobe Illustrator this
morning and I happened on the following:

"RGB colors are called additive colors because you create white by adding R,
G, and B together‹that is, all light is reflected back to the eye. Additive
colors are used for lighting, television, and computer monitors. Your
monitor, for example, creates color by emitting light through red, green,
and blue phosphors."
