Primary Colour Grading > Logarithmic Mode: Improving Contrast >

# Setting the Pivot Point

You can set the pivot point for contrast. The pivot point is the anchor around which contrast is scaled. By default, the pivot point is set to the midpoint in the image. You can move the pivot point to scale the contrast around the image highlights or shadows.

To set the pivot point:

1. Indicate whether this is the initial or final primary grade:
   - To work on the initial primary colour grade, click Input.
   - To make final adjustments to the primary colour grade, click Output.
2. Drag the Pivot slider to move the anchor around which the contrast is modified. Drag up to modify contrast around highlights. Drag down to modify contrast around shadows.
