The Advanced Tab

This tab contains another set of parameters for adjusting each of the three primary color
channels within each of the three tonal zones. Additionally, there is a set of Printer Points
controls for colorists who are used to optical color grading for film.

For more information, see:

RGB Controls

These parameters provide per-channel control over contrast and color. These are not
numerical representations of any of the other controls in the Primary In room. Like the
parameters in the Basic tab, they're available as an additional set of controls.

Typically, these parameters are adjusted when the Auto Balance button is used to
automatically adjust a shot. (For more information, see

Using the Auto Balance Button

.)

However, you can use them as you see fit.

Red, Green, and Blue Lift: These parameters work exactly the same as the Master Lift

parameter, but affect the individual color channels.

Red, Green, and Blue Gain: These parameters work exactly the same as the Master Gain

parameter, but affect the individual color channels.

Red, Green, and Blue Gamma: These parameters work exactly the same as the Master

Gamma parameter, but affect the individual color channels.
