Recording and Using Looks and Groups
Apply Levels/Palettes
Palette does not have a separate storage container for palettes like some desks do.
Likewise, Groups are not stored in a container called Groups. The Look concept is
used to achieve all of these goals. That is, you record ideas to Looks, then you can
later use those Looks either on the Command Line or by pushing up sliders or by
referencing them indirectly and recording that reference in a Cue or another Look.
The reference method is commonly referred to as Palettes. Generally you think of
Palette as a noun, but in Palette, it is a verb; one 'thing' is used by another 'thing' as
a palette. Those things can be either Looks or Cues, and either can be used by
anything.
Using Look Levels
Check out the topic called Command Line Syntax on how to call up raw recorded
Look levels directly by typing them in. If you want to take advantage of the indirect
reference functionality, you must us the Apply Levels dialog box. To use it, select
Channels, then type [@] [LOOK]. The Apply Levels dialog box will open:

You can also use the [@] [S5-POS] or [@] [S6-COL] etc. syntax to
open the Apply Levels dialog box. Doing so will automatically select
the first Look Page that uses the appropriate attribute masking.
You can apply parts of the recorded Looks by using the Attribute
filtering.
If the desired Look Page is not already selected, use [S1] to select it, then [S3] to
scroll through the Looks until you have highlighted the desired one. If you press [S5],
the currently selected Look will be pumped to the stage for preview purposes. If you
cancel out of this dialog box, the original levels will be restored.
If you uncheck [S4]Apply As Palette, the raw data will be applied to the selected
attributes like this:
