Using the Color Interface

Setting Up a Control Surface

Color was designed from the ground up to support control surfaces specifically
designed for color correction from manufacturers such as Tangent and JL Cooper
Designs. These control surfaces typically include three trackballs that correspond to the
three overlapping tonal zones of the Primary and Secondary color balance controls
(shadows, midtones, and highlights), three rotary controls for the three contrast
controls (black level, gamma, and white point), and a number of other rotary controls
and buttons that support different functions depending on which room you’ve
selected.

You can either choose a control surface to use when Color starts up, or you can click
Show Control Surface Dialog in the User Prefs tab of the Setup room to choose an
available control surface at any time. For more information on setting up a control
surface, see Appendix C, “

Setting Up a Control Surface

.” For more information on

configuring a control surface from within Color, see “

Control Surface Settings

” on

page 103.

Using the Onscreen Controls

If you don’t have a control surface, you can still operate every feature in Color using the
onscreen controls. In addition to the standard buttons, check boxes, and pop-up
menus common to most applications, Color uses some custom controls that are
described in this section.
