Secondary color correction controls let you isolate a portion
of an image and selectively adjust it without affecting the
rest of the picture.
Once you’ve made your initial corrections using the Primary In room, the next step in
adjusting any shot is to move on to the Secondaries room to make more targeted
adjustments.

What Is the Secondaries Room Used For?
The Secondaries room has been designed for maximum flexibility. While its central
purpose is to facilitate targeted corrections to specific features of the image, it can be
used for a variety of tasks.
