Chapter 13 Color correction 421
5 Do one of the following:
 To apply a color correction to the shape area: Click Inside Mask.
 To apply a color correction to everything except the shape area: Click Outside Mask.
You can make corrections to both the inside and outside areas of the mask—each area
eectively has its own complete set of Color Board controls. For example, you could
select Inside Mask and enhance the shape’s area, and then select Outside Mask to
darken everything else.
6 Adjust the Color Board controls to create the eect you want.
For more information about working with the Color Board, see “Color correct the
whole image” on page 414.
7 To add additional shapes to the correction, click the Add Shape Mask button in the
color correction’s area in the Video inspector again.
Another default shape appears in the Viewer, and the original shape is dimmed. You
can select and continue conguring the original shape by clicking its center.
Delete a shape mask
1 In the Video inspector, select the Shape Mask item you want to delete.

item and press Delete.

Note: If you delete all shape masks in the correction, the Inside Mask corrections are
applied to the whole image.
