Color correction is another essential part
of the postproduction process, because it
allows you to adjust your footage’s luma
values (light and dark) and chroma values
(color, such as hue and saturation). Color
correction can improve images aestheti-
cally, match luma and chroma values of
separate shots, and bring your footage
within legal broadcast levels.
If you’ve ever used the color correction
tools in an application such as Adobe
Photoshop, you’ve been exposed to the
basic concepts at work in the Avid Media
Composer Color Correction toolset.
Although the full breadth of that toolset
is beyond the scope of this book, in this
chapter, you’ll acquire simple techniques
for performing automatic color corrections.
