Choose an area of the image to correct: Draw one or more shape masks, and then choose
whether the correction applies inside or outside the masks. You can even have the position of
the masks change as the clip plays. See
Target specific areas using shape masks on page 385.
You can also apply multiple color corrections to a single clip and use shape masks in
combination with a color mask. For example, you could use one correction to set the clip’s overall
color look, a second to target and alter a specific color, and a third to target a different color or an
area defined by a shape mask. See
Apply multiple color corrections on page 388 and Add shape
masks to a color mask on page 387.
You make manual color adjustments using the Color Board.
