Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 381)

The Still Store provides an interface with which to compare shots to one another while
you do scene-to-scene color correction.
Using the Still Store interface, you can save images from different shots in a project to
use as reference stills for comparison to shots you’re correcting to match. This is a common
operation in scene-to-scene color correction, when you’re balancing all the shots in a
scene to match the exposure and color of one another, so they all look as if they were
shot at the same place, at the same time.
Using the Still Store, you can save reference stills from any shot in your project, for
comparison to any other shot. This means if you’re working on a documentary where a
particular style of headshot is interspersed throughout the program, you can save a
reference still of the graded master headshot, and recall it for comparison to every other
headshot in the program.
This chapter covers the following:
• Saving Images to the Still Store (p. 381)
• Saving Still Store Images in Subdirectories (p. 383)
• Removing Images from the Still Store (p. 383)
• Recalling Images from the Still Store (p. 384)
• Customizing the Still Store View (p. 384)
Saving Images to the Still Store
To use the Still Store, you must first save one or more images for later recall.
To add an image to the Still Store
1 Move the playhead to a frame you want to save to the Still Store.
You should choose a graded image that contains the subjects you need to compare and
that is representative of the lighting and color you’re trying to match.
2 If the Still Store is currently turned on, turn it off to make sure you don’t accidentally save
a still of the currently displayed split screen.
