Accessing the Colour Warper

Use the Colour Warper to modify the colour content in your clips. You can manipulate colour content with intuitive controls that provide precise colour correction, and view histograms that help you visualize your image's colours. You can also output a matte that corresponds to selected colours.

The Colour Warper can be accessed from the following locations:

• The Colour Corrector module.
• The Colour Correction soft effect. See Creating Colour Correction Soft Effects.
• Other modules where you can access the Colour Corrector— Action, the Keyer, and Paint. See Accessing the Colour Corrector from Other Modules.

When working with large images, you can free up additional screen space with the Overlay user interface. This feature is exclusive to the Colour Corrector and the Colour Warper. The Colour Warper's Overlay user interface is available from the EditDesk, Soft CC, as well as from the Action, Keyer, and Paint modules.

For details on using the Overlay user interface, see Overlay User Interface.
