All of these tools are divided among eight individual “rooms” of the Color interface,
logically arranged in an order that matches the workflow of most colorists. You use Color
to correct, balance, and create stylized “looks” for each shot in your program as the last
step in the post-production workflow, giving your programs a final polish previously
available only to high-end facilities.

About the Color Documentation

The Color User Manual provides comprehensive information about the application and
is written for users of all levels of experience.

• Editors and post-production professionals from other disciplines who are new to the

color correction process will find information on how to get started, with detailed
explanations of how all controls work, and why they function the way they do.

• Colorists coming to Color from other grading environments can skip ahead to find

detailed information about the application’s inner workings and exhaustive
parameter-by-parameter explanations for every room of the Color interface.
