Secondary Color Correction Specifies the color range to be corrected by the effect. You can define the color by hue,
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 Makes boundaries of the specified area more diffuse, blending the correction more with the original image.
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 Corrects all colors except for the color range that you specified with the Secondary Color
Correction settings.

Tint effect
The Tint effect alters an image’s color information. For each pixel, the luminance value specifies a blend between
two colors. Map Black To and Map White To specify to which colors dark and bright pixels are mapped. Interme-
diate pixels are assigned intermediate values. Amount To Tint specifies the intensity of the effect.
Video Limiter effect
The Video Limiter effect lets you limit the luminance and color in a clip so that they fall within parameters that you
define. These parameters are useful for preserving the video as much as possible while making its signal fall within
the broadcasting limits.
Show Split View Displays one part of the image as the corrected view and the other part of the image as the uncor-
rected view.
Layout Determines whether the Split View images are side by side (Horizontal) or above and below (Vertical).
Split View Percentage Adjusts the size of the corrected view. The default is 50%.
Reduction Axis Lets you set the limits defining the range of luminance (Luma), color (Chroma), both color and
luminance (Chroma and Luma), or the overall video signal (Smart Limit). The Min and Max controls available
depend on the Reduction Axis option you choose.
Luma Min Specifies the darkest level in an image.
Luma Max Specifies the brightest level in an image.
Chroma Min Specifies the lowest saturation for the colors in an image.
