Figure 7-29: The area for master, luma and chroma
With the Master items you can adjust luminance relevant settings, such
as gamma or brightness:
The items of the group Luma allow you to adjust the white or black
point of the clip’s images:
Contrast With the contrast items you can set the contrast of
the clip’s images. An increase of the contrast setting
will push the image colors more towards their full col-
or, whereas a decrease will adjust the colors more to-
wards a tone of grey. You can adjust the settings
between -100 (no contrast) and +100 (maximum
contrast).
Gamma Gamma adjusts the mid-tones of an image. Lowering
the value will darken the mid-tones, bringing the im-
age closer to black. Raising the value will lighten the
mid-tones while bringing the image closer to white.
Sometimes this setting can be used to make details
visible that are usually hidden in shadows or high-
lights. The settings range is between 0.1 and 3 where
1 represents the unchanged image.
Brightness The brightness setting adjusts the luminance of the
image and indicates the bright- and darkness of the
image colors. It is measured between -100 (black)
and +100 (white).
High Adjusts the brighter parts of the clip, i.e. the gain or
white point. By using this setting only the luminance
changes, the chroma settings remain as they were.
Values range from -100 to +100.
