Primary Color Correction
A basic feature of Primary Color Correction is the fact that it affects the entire color balance of an
image. In other words: If, for example, the red component in Gamma is increased, the whole
image takes on a more or less distinct reddish “cast”. Or it’s a cast that is removed
by increasing
this component.
The sliders for Primary Color Correction are located in the lower left-hand section of the Color
Correction Editor and between the inlays (Compact Display).
The Primary Color Correction functions are generally adequate for your “everyday” color correc-
tion needs.
Primary Color Correction can either be used alone or in combination with the other types of cor-
rection.
You can activate or deactivate the parameters by means of the square on the right in the Primary
Color Correction title bar.
