Adjust the hue, saturation, or brightness of a color
1. Follow the instructions in Add and set up a Hue/Saturation Curves color correction,
above.
2. In the Color inspector, click the eyedropper for the curve that you want to use.
• Hue vs Hue: Change a color (hue) in the image.
• Hue vs Sat: Change the saturation of a color in the image.
• Hue vs Luma: Adjust the brightness of a color in the image.
3. In the viewer, click or drag over the color in your clip that you want to adjust.
Three control points appear on the curve in the Color inspector. The middle control
point represents the color you selected with the eyedropper. The two outer control
points constrain the selection to a narrow range of hues.
The examples below show the Hue/Saturation Curves effect in Single Curves view. In
this view, click a button at the top of the Color inspector to display a specific curve. For
example, click HvH to display the Hue vs Hue curve.
Note: You can also create control points by clicking the curve, but the eyedropper
method is generally more precise.
