Separate saturation controls let you increase or decrease color intensity throughout the
scene, while the Lum vs. Sat and Sat vs. Sat curves give you the ability to fine-tune
saturation very specifically.
High Saturation
Low Saturation
For more information on these controls, which are essential to the color correction process, see
Chapter 117, “Primary Grading Controls.
Emphasizing Whats Important
Another important aspect of the color correction process is the ability to make adjustments to
emphasize or de-emphasize specific elements within the frame. It’s similar in concept to
equalization in audio mixing, in that you’re choosing which color values to boost or suppress
using a variety of techniques.
This can be done to direct the viewer’s gaze, for example by surrounding a specific part of the
image with a Power Window, which lets you restrict specific adjustments made to the inside and
outside of the Window’s shape.
