Anyone know how to change the Input matte in the image node, in the controls tab, using the panel? is it possible?

Thanks

Maybe it can be added using the Tangent mapper app.

Hello Brooks!  
The functionality to change the matte Input from the Tangent panels is not available. Please submit a general Improvement for this on Flame Feedback.

Thanks! I just finally after 5 years got all the panel parts, and have been digging using image node with the element panel. I like it very much so far. This was just a pain point that hit me.
