The foreground element is “pinned” on the background element.

Note: In this example, a reflection is created on the table using a duplicated and
transformed copy of the tracked image.

To fine-tune the track (when Four Corners is chosen from the Type pop-up menu), you
may need to make minor adjustments to the foreground element, such as modifying its
scale or rotation. When you choose the Attach to Source option from the Transform
pop-up menu in the Behaviors tab of the Inspector, you cannot transform the tracked
object. To transform the tracked object, choose Mimic Source from the Transform pop-up
menu.
