Introducing Color Correction
WHAT’S TH E DI FFERENCE BETWEEN HSL AND CURVES?
The primary difference between the HSL and Curves group is that Hue Offset controls are based
on the hue, saturation, and luminance (HSL) color space, whereas curves are based on a red,
green, and blue (RGB) color space. As a result, you adjust the controls differently. For example,
when you adjust values in the HSL color space, you manipulate luma and chroma separately. For
values in the RGB color space, however, your adjustments affect both luma and chroma values
simultaneously.
The mechanics of adjustment are also different. Rather than adjusting sliders, in the Curves group
you adjust chroma and luma values by manipulating up to 16 control points per graph on four
ChromaCurve graphs.
Within the Color Correction tool are two Color Correction groups: HSL
(which stands for “hue, saturation, and luminance”) and Curves, both of
which contain manual and automatic color correction controls. In this book,
we will discuss only the HSL controls.
The Timeline displays the currently loaded sequence, and the frame that the
position indicator is parked on is the frame displayed in the Current monitor.
Each monitor in the Color Correction toolset can be populated
with any of the choices available in the menu
The Color Correction
tool contains both
manual and automatic
instruments to correct
your footage using HSL
or Curves
The Timeline is displayed, and the segment that the position indicator is resting on (on the topmost
selected track) is the frame indicated on the Current tab in the color correction monitor
