color correction to the shadows, midtones, highlights, or the entire tonal range (Master).

To specify a color or range of colors to adjust
The Secondary Color Correction specifies the color range to be corrected by an effect. You can define the color by
hue, saturation, and luminance. The Secondary Color Correction is available for the following effects: Luma
Corrector, Luma Curve, RGB Color Corrector, RGB Curves, and Three-Way Color Corrector.
By specifying a color or range of colors using the Secondary Color Correction, you are isolating a color correction
effect to specific areas of an image. This is similar to making a selection or masking an image in Photoshop. For
example, you define a range of colors that selects only a blue shirt in an image. You can then change the color of the
shirt without affecting any other areas of the image.
1 Select the clip you want to correct in the Timeline panel and apply either the Luma Corrector, Luma Curve, RGB
Color Corrector, RGB Curves, or Three-Way Color Corrector effect.

anywhere in the workspace to select a color, or click the color swatch to open the Adobe Color Picker and select a
color.
5 Do any of the following to increase or decrease the range of colors you want to correct:
• Use the + Eyedropper tool to extend the color range, and use the – Eyedropper tool to subtract from the color
range.
• Click the triangle to expand the Hue control, and then drag the Start Threshold and End Threshold sliders to
define the color range where the correction is applied at 100%. Drag the Start Softness and End Softness sliders to
control feathering, which determines whether the boundaries of the color range are sharply defined or soft. You
can also enter the Start and End parameters numerically using the controls below the Hue control.
Note: The hue defined by the sliders can also be changed by dragging the upper or lower hue bands.
