Color Correctors
Dfx includes a number of different color correctors that are handy for adjusting
an image’s color. They include: Color Correct, F-Stop, Printer Points, Telecine
and Temperature.
1 Apply Color Correct, F-Stop, Printer Points, Telecine or Temperature from the
Image category.
2 Adjust any of the controls in the Master group.
The master settings affect the entire image. However, you can also use
selections in the shadow, midtone and highlight regions to adjust the color
selectively in those areas.
Note: Lift, Gamma and Gain in the Telecine filter are the same as Shadows, Midtones
and Highlights.
3 Change your View to Shadows, Midtones or Highlights to see the selection
values.
The areas that are white in the selection are the areas that will be adjusted by
the color controls. The areas defined as shadows, midtones or highlights can
be adjusted by modifying the Position and Range parameters.
4 Use the Shadows, Midtones or Highlights Position parameters if you want to
select different values to be used for the selection.
5 Increase the Shadows, Midtones or Highlights Range controls to add more
values to the selection. Decrease for less values.
6 Change your View to Output to see the image.
7 Adjust the color controls in the Shadows, Midtone or Highlight controls to see
how it affects your image.
8 Click the Done button to apply the filter to your image.
See the Color Correctors on page 275 for more information.
