6. To adjust the saturation for a different range of saturation, click the curve to add control
points, and adjust them as needed.
Use the left end of the curve to adjust regions of low saturation, the middle section
to adjust regions of medium saturation, and the right end of the curve to adjust highly
saturated regions. Drag a control point up or down to increase or decrease saturation
for that region of saturation.
Adjust the saturation of a specific color at any point along its range of brightness
You can use the Orange vs Sat curve to adjust a specific color’s saturation at any point
along its range of tonality from darkest to brightest.
Note: The default color for the curve is orange (because it aligns with skin tone), but you
can select any color and adjust its saturation. For more information about skin tone, see
Vectorscope display options in Final Cut Pro.
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 Orange vs Sat curve.
If all six curves are shown in the inspector, you may need to scroll to see the Orange vs
Sat curve. In Single Curves view, click the Orange button at the top to display the curve.
3. In the viewer, click or drag over the color in your clip whose saturation you want to
adjust.
The curve color changes to the color you selected in the viewer. The name of the curve
also changes to reflect the selection—for example, to “Aqua vs Sat.”
