You
can boost image colours in the highlights of the selected range
or entire image. Changes in gain mostly affect the highlights and
do not change the black point of the image. Gain is similar to brightness
in Log mode.
NoteWhen you use a slider
or colour balance wheel to colour grade a shot, the colour range
is limited by the control (the edge of the colour wheel, for example).
Use the Autodesk control surface or the Tangent CP100 control surface
to reach the full spectrum of colour.
To modify gain:
- 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.
- Select the image level you want to modify.
- Modify the image colours:
- To increase image colours uniformly,
drag the Gain slider up.
- To decrease image colours uniformly,
drag the Gain slider down.
- To offset the colours while maintaining
the overall gain, enable Gain and then drag the Gain Balance wheel
towards a colour you want to boost.
The selected colour is boosted while other colours
in the image are offset to compensate for the change in gain.
