About Color Correcting
 
 
 

Color correction describes any process that modifies the perceived color of an image. The CC Basics tool options include a complete selection of color manipulation tools that give you precise control over color values. You can modify luma ranges in an image (shadows, midtones, and highlights), sample colors, and set the color balance. You can also apply simulated camera exposure and film development effects to images using the Photo Lab tool.

NoteAll color correction tools have a masking input that allows you to limit the effect of the color correcting tool to a specific range of pixels—see Pixel Masking.
