COLOR FINALE PRO SATURATION SKIN
COLOR FINALE PRO SATURATION PLUS

Left is not saturated and right is fully saturated. Sat vs Sat is similar to Sat vs Luma, except that the baseline in this tool represents saturation. When the control points are located farther towards the middle of the line, the transition from desaturated to saturated will be more graceful, but you may lose too much color. If the curve from the bottom to the baseline is too steep, this will result in artifacts. Drag the inner two control points left or right to increase or decrease the range within which this desaturation occurs. This creates a roll-off of color in the darkest and lightest parts of the image. Now drag the two end control points all the way down on the graph (zero color saturation). Be sure to set the control point setting to locked (third button). Add control points about five gridlines inward from each end. You can use Sat vs Luma to reign that in. As you push extreme grades, you will end up contaminating light and shadow area in your image with color. One way colorists use this control is to maintain pure blacks and whites within an image. With Sat vs Luma, the baseline represents luminance from black (left) to white (right). Sat vs Luma works differently than the previous three curves, where the base line represented all possible hues. As you raise or lower the control point around the base line, objects with the selected hue will become brighter or darker. The color selection and operation works like Hue vs Sat, except with luminance. Hue vs Luma enables you to brighten or darken a portion of the image in relation to its hue. If you want it to be more vibrant, simply push the point up above the base line. Pull the control point for blue down to decrease the blue saturation in the image. Or use the color picker to select that color within the viewer image.

Simply ⌘-click on the blue section of the line, plus two points on either side of the blue control point to set the range. For example, someone is wearing a vibrant blue sweater in your clip and you want to decrease the intensity of the blue. Hue vs Sat enables you to increase or decrease the saturation of specific hues.

If you shift the control point down below the base line, the skin tones become more magenta.

As you move the main control point up, the orange skin tones will become more green. You can move these outer points to widen or tighten the adjustment area. It will also automatically add two additional points on either side to restrict the range. Use the color picker to select the correct color and it will add a control point on the graph, most likely at orange. Let’s say you want to adjust skin tones slightly. Hue vs Hue enables you to select a color and shift its hue. When you select the third (locked) option, you will need to click it again to disable it, before selecting one of the other two. Click between these three buttons to change the shape of the curve. This third setting will be similar to curve controls used in other applications and filters. The third button locks the curve smoothly to the control points. The curve will bend towards the control points, but will not be directly locked to them. The top button makes hard, linear transitions at the control points. There are buttons in the on-screen overlay to modify the control points. Bézier will be more familiar to users, but B-Splines curves provide smoother results. The HSL controls use B-Spline and Bézier curves. To add all points of all color ranges on the line at once, click on the multicolored circle. A color picker can also be used to add control points.Ĭlick on the colored circle to add a point on the curve graph accordingly to the color range. Right-click a control point for more options. It changes the horizontal position of the curve graph.The next point on the graph changes the shape of the graph relative to the horizontal position of the line. To start, ⌘-click the line to add a new point along the curve graph (option-click to delete a point). This tool also includes an Extended Mode setting like the Six Vectors tool. You can select multiple control points along any of these curves. In the versus concept you are adjusting one item in relation to the other.

This tool includes five panels - Hue vs Hue, Hue vs Sat, Sat vs Luma, and Sat vs Sat.

The HSL Curves tool (hue, saturation, luminance) can be used to further sculpt your color grade.
