606 Part III Color Correction and Video Quality Control
Example: Using the Limit Effect Controls to Change a Specific Color
This example shows you how to use the Limit Effect controls of the Color Corrector
filter to selectively change the color of a man’s pants from red to blue, without
changing the color of anything else in the frame.
1 With the Color Corrector filter already applied, click the Select Color eyedropper.
2 In the Canvas, click the eyedropper in the man’s red pants to select a primary key color.
Try to pick a color value that lies somewhere between the brightest and darkest areas
to which you’re trying to limit the effect.
Now, you’ll make a hue adjustment so that you can see the area you’re trying to isolate.
This example shows
how to adjust the color
of the man’s pants only.
Click the Select Color
eyedropper.
Click a color in the pants
to get a good starting
value of red.
The Limit Effect controls
change to include the
selected color range.
