13 Managing Corrections and Grades
Color provides many tools for managing the corrections and
grades that you’ve applied. You can work even faster by
saving, copying, and applying corrections and grades you’ve
already created to multiple shots at once.
There are three areas of the Color interface where you can save, organize, copy, apply,
and otherwise manage corrections and grades: the correction bins inside each room,
the Grades bin and the Shots browser in the Setup room, and the grade track in the
Timeline. This chapter describes the use of all these areas of the interface in more detail.
