Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 140)

• Grade Aborted color control: The color that's displayed in the Timeline render bar for
shots that have had their rendering stopped. The default color is red.
• Monochrome Scopes: Turning this option on draws the video scope graticules with a
single color (specified by the Scope Color option, below). Many colorists prefer this
display to avoid eye fatigue. On the other hand, it also eliminates the full-color display
in the Vectorscope. Another option for those wishing to have color feedback in the
scopes is to lower the UI Saturation setting to a less vivid intensity.
• Scope Color: This color control lets you adjust the color that's used to draw the video
scope graticules when Monochrome Scopes is turned on.
Limit Shadow Adjustments and Show Control Surface Controls
These controls are used to limit shadow adjustments and display the Control Surface
Startup dialog.
• Limit Shadow Adjustments: When this option is turned on, a falloff is applied to the
Shadows color and contrast adjustments such that 0 percent values (pure black) receive
100 percent of the correction, while 100 percent values (pure white) receive 0 percent
of the correction. When this option is turned off, adjustments made to the Shadows
color and contrast controls are applied uniformly to the entire image.
• Show Control Surface Dialog: Turning this option on immediately opens the Control
Surface Startup dialog, from which you can choose a Color-compatible control surface
with which to work. While this option is turned on, the Control Surface Startup dialog
appears every time you open Color. If you don't have a control surface, turn this option
off.
