Hue Shift

Another way to remove unwanted color from the front clip is using hue shift. You can change the hue of the color spill to another target hue that you pick from the image. For example, use hue shift to make the blue spill around a talent's hair shift to match the real hair color.

You can also use hue shift to shift colors in the image toward a hue in the background.

To apply a hue shift:

1. On the left of the hue spectrum, click the Hue Shift label to select the hue shift curve.
2. In the Output options, click Result so you can see the color spill in the image.
3. Click Plot, and sample a pixel in the color spill.

A vertical red line appears in the hue spectrum denoting the color that you sampled.

4. Choose a hue to replace the color spill: click the Hue Shift Target picker, and sample a color in the image.



The color you picked appears in the Hue Shift Target color box. If you are not satisfied with the color, sample another color.

5. Specify the range of colors that you want to shift by raising the Hue Shift curve to 75.00 for that range. Shift the curve up to the 75% line to shift the source fully to the target hue. If you drag the curve to an intermediate point, the color shifts only partially around the color wheel and may give unexpected results.



Note: Turn on Enable to apply changes made in the Color controls.
