  • Where to find it:


    • Add Adjustment Layer / Extension Pack / Color Correction /

Node Properties


MAIN TAB



Color Fields & 'S' Button


Due to Interface restrictions the color fields under the sliders do not override the sliders themselves (different from Nuke)


Instead the Sliders are multiplied with the values from the Color field 

Slider * Colorfield


On 'Blackpoint', 'Lift' and 'Offset' this multiplication would result to a value of 0.0 by default

so if those sliders are set to 0.0 only the Color Field is evaluated.


 


Clicking on the 'S' button next to the slider will change the Interface to allow you a numerical input

for Red,Green, Blue & Alpha Channel separately




  • Blackpoint

Adjust the Blackpoint to allow you to change the darkest point in the paint


    • Blackpoint Color/Value

The Color Selection under the Blackpoint Slider allows you to set a color or value via a color picker.

This allows you to affect each Color channel separately similar to when pressing 'S' next to a slider.

Values of the Color Field are multiplied against the Blackpoint Slider unless that slider is set to 0.0.


A slider value of 0.0 and a color value of 1.0 only uses the Color Field's Value

The Whitepoint allows you to increase the brightest point in the paint.


    • Whitepoint Color/Value

The Color Selection under the Whitepoint Slider allows you to set a color or value via a color picker.
