Color Controls

Use the Color controls to correct any color spill that remains in the front image after the keying process.

Note: When you first open the Color controls, the seven color curves are one on top of another and appear as one.

The following curves appear in the Color controls.

Hue Shift

Shifts a hue toward the Hue Shift Target.

Supp

Suppresses a specific color from a hue. Color suppression reduces the saturation of the Suppression Target color.

Sat

Changes the saturation of a hue.

Red

Changes the value of the Red component in a hue.

Green

Changes the value of the Green component in a hue.

Blue

Changes the value of the Blue component in a hue.

LUM

Modifies the luminosity of a hue.

The following controls are also available.

Delete

Deletes a control point on the curve.

Reset Selected

Resets the selected curve to its default.

Note: To reset all the curves at once, click Reset under the Setup button.

Enable

Enables the color correction. Toggle this on and off to view or hide the effect of the color correction as you work.

Color Suppression Target

Determines which color to suppress. To select a color, click the picker and sample a color in the viewport. By default, the color suppression target is the key color.

Hue Shift Target

Determines the color to use instead of the unwanted color spill. When you apply a hue shift, the unwanted hues are replaced by the hue shift target. To specify this target color, click the picker and sample a color from the image. For example, if you are removing blue spill from hair, you set the hue shift target to the hair color.

Plot

Plots a color in the hue spectrum. Click the picker and sample a color from the image. The color you sampled is represented by a vertical red line in the color spectrum.
