saturation, and luminance. Click the triangle to access the controls.

Note: Choose Mask from the Output menu to view the areas of the image that are selected as you define the color range.

Center

Defines the central color in the range that you’re specifying. Select the Eyedropper tool and click anywhere

on your screen to specify a color, which is displayed in the color swatch. Use the + Eyedropper tool to extend the
color range, and use the - Eyedropper tool to subtract from the color range. You can also click the swatch to open
the Adobe Color Picker and select the center color.

Hue, Saturation, and Luma

Specify the color range to be corrected by hue, saturation, or luminance. Click the

triangle next to the option name to access the threshold and softness (feathering) controls to define the hue,
saturation, or luminance range.

Soften

A higher value increases the softness.

Edge Thinning

Makes the specified area more sharply defined. The correction becomes more pronounced. A higher

value increases the edge definition of the specified area.

Invert Limit Color

Correction settings.

RGB Color Corrector effect

The RGB Color Corrector effect adjusts the color in a clip by applying adjustments to the tonal ranges that you

individually. You can also specify the color range to be corrected by using the Secondary Color Correction controls.

Lets you view adjustments in the Program monitor as the final results (Composite), tonal value adjustments

(Luma), display of the alpha matte (Mask), or a tri-tone representation of where the shadows, midtones, and
highlights fall (Tonal Range).

Show Split View

Displays the left or upper part of the image as the corrected view and the right or lower part of the

image as the uncorrected view.

Layout

Split View Percentage

Adjusts the size of the corrected view. The default is 50%.
