Here is a cool tip that was passed on to me by one of our supervisors on Australia. The idea is to use a colour lookup curve to shape how the edges of your matte are blurred, pushing the white pixels out to the edge or pulling them back into the core of your matte.
As always, if you have any questions or tips post them here. I would be especially happy if you have your own blog and can show how to replicate these techniques in other software. I just don’t have enough time or knowledge to do the tutorials in each application.
