Figure 7-35: Alpha channel view of the selected color vector
In the alpha channel view of the preview window the black parts of the
image will not be affected while all areas and pixels displayed in white
will be color corrected. The set color vector will be graphically shown in
the color wheel to the left of the color mask area. Although the preview
window and the pipette are the easiest way to determine a color vector,
it can also be adjusted with the color/grey-scale bars and the entry
fields to the right as well as the controls at the bottom of the color mask
area.
Further information about the color mask area with the preview win-
dow and all other items and controls can be found in section “The Color
Mask Area” on page 7-42. Once everything is set correctly, you can
change or correct the selected color vector.

erties such as brightness or saturation. In other words, to correct a color
vector the settings of a primary color correction are at your disposal. For
this you have to use the settings items and color wheel to the right of
the secondary color correction properties (color correction and balance
area).
The applied color correction will be shown in the preview window in its
source view as well as on the video overlay and the outputs of the DVS
system:
