Contrast and Pivot

Contrast is used to change the tonal difference between light and dark parts of an image. Pivot adjusts contrast "balance" which can offset the contrast tonal ranges. Once contrast is set, use pivot to refine the tonal center of tonality, brightening or darkening the image while retaining contrast.Original Footage

Midtone Detail

Increasing or decreasing midtone detail changes the contrast on edge details in an image. Adjusting midtone detail changes the perception of sharpness and definition. It can be used to accentuate the stubble on an actor’s face, make a scene look sharper, or to gently defocus skin for beauty work.

Color Boost

Color boost intelligently adjusts areas of low saturation in an image while leaving heavily saturated areas alone. This results in a more subtle and natural increase of color. Sometimes referred to as a vibrance, color boost is a great way to make colors pop without over saturating the entire image.Original Footage

Shadows and Highlights

Shadow and highlight knobs let you lighten and darken shadow detail or retrieve blown out highlights in high dynamic range images. They do not affect the midtones, allowing you to achieve a smooth blend and more natural result between the retrieved areas of the image and the unadjusted midtones.

Saturation

Use to adjust overall image saturation. At higher values, colors appear more intense, while at lower values color diminishes. Saturation can be decreased completely until all color is gone, leaving a grayscale image. Combine with contrast and pivot to produce striking black and white imagery.

Hue

The hue knob lets you rotate all hues in an image or selected area around the perimeter of the color wheel. The default setting is 50, which retains the original unaffected distribution of hues. Use with secondary selections to quickly adjust specific hue ranges, like blue skies or green trees.

Luminance Mix

The luminance mix control changes the balance between your color adjustments and Y, or luminance only adjustments. When using the Y channel lift, gamma and gain controls, a luminance mix of 100 lets you adjust color independent of brightness, which is ideal for color balancing and matching footage.
