ABSTRACT
Color correction is a process where each clip is adjusted for "correct" exposure, color and gamma. This is a slightly more straightforward process, but is an art form in its own way. The waveform monitor, vectorscope, histograms and other evaluation tools are critical to this step and most editing and color correction software have them built-in. The Log controls have one other difference from Lift or Gamma or Gain, and that is a fourth set of color balance and master wheel controls: the Offset control, which lets you make adjustments throughout the entire tonal range of the red, green and blue (RGB) channels. The effect is similar to using the Lift and Gain master controls to make simultaneous opposing adjustments. The Pivot control changes the center point around which dark and bright parts of the image are stretched or narrowed during contrast adjustment.
