Controlling Color
The primary color button lets you the select primary color correction feature so you can make
color adjustments to the lift, gamma, and gain tonal ranges using the trackball.
Before we look at the different ways you can control color, it’s important to look at the three
tonal ranges that form a video image.
Lift Lift controls the shadows, or the darkest ranges of the image. For example, the
color and brightness, or luminance, of the black level.
Gamma The midtones of your image are controlled via the gamma value. Midtones are
regions of your image that are approximately half way between the darkest and
brightest levels of the image.
Gain The gain represents the highlights, or the brightest areas of the image.
By making specific color and luminance adjustments to each of these tonal regions,
you have incredible control over the image. When making adjustments, you can select
each tonal range by pressing the respective lift, gamma, and gain buttons.
Primary color control lets you adjust the color and luminance for specific lift,
gamma and gain tonal ranges in the image
