### Fine-tuning the Coat Reflections

**Applying** the **Coat Filter RE** and the [Raw Coat Reflection RE](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMAX/pages/113576642) to the composition in **Multiply** blend mode produces [Coat Reflection RE](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMAX/pages/113576822). This method is used to allow for better fine-tuning of the coat reflections in the scene.

### Enhancing Coat Reflections

You can enhance the coat reflections of your composition by applying the **Coat Filter RE** and the [Raw Coat Reflection RE](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMAX/pages/113576642) in **Add** blend mode inside the VFB. In this example, the effect is applied only in areas selected with a [Cryptomatte](https://docs.chaos.com/display/VMAX4EDIT/Masks) mask. See how the composition changes after the enhancement.
