Creating a color replace effect

$ Saturation Threshold Use this to proportionally increase or decrease

the region outside of your saturation range. This controls how closely the

Saturation value specified must match the replaced color before a region

is replaced with your new color.

For example, after selecting your new color, you may find that some areas

of the image have a color similar to the color you’re replacing. By adjusting

the

Saturation Threshold, you can eliminate this color from the

replaceable area.

Viewing and selecting colors

There are three ways of viewing and selecting the color that you want to replace.

To switch between the views, you can click the appropriate button, or you can use

the following keyboard shortcuts:

Q for Output, W for Plot, and E for Map.

•

Output This is the default view when you first display the Custom Color

Replace

page. You can see the result of your color replace effect in the

Preview Window.

•

Plot Click this to plot the colors and luminance values that are present in

the current frame of your clip. The

Luma Plot shows each luminance value

present in your image as a vertical line in the histogram. A longer line

indicates a higher amount of pixels in your image of that line’s luminance

value. When you adjust the

Old Color Selection controls, you can see the

visual representation of your changes in the

Chroma Plot or Luma Plot:

•

Map This view consists of a cube that contains a color spectrum, located

under

Chroma Map, and a luminance spectrum, located under Luma Map.
