The Output Vector Hue and Saturation sliders are identical to their Input Vector equivalents. For
more information, see “Input Vector Sliders” on page 679.
The Output Vector Luminance slider changes the luminance value for the final color. Values for
the Luminance slider range from –10 to +10, where –10 reduces the luminance by 10% of the
full black-to-white luminance range, and +10 increases the luminance by 10% of the full black-
to-white luminance range.
As you adjust the output values, the active monitor updates to show the effect of the correction
on your image. If Isolate is selected, the monitor shows the corrected areas of the image in color
and the unaffected areas of the image as grayscale.
3. Do one of the following:
t To have the areas of the image outside the vector continue to display as grayscale, ensure
that Isolate is selected.
t To have the image appear as a full-color display, ensure that Isolate is deselected.
Using the Color Match Control for Secondary Corrections
You can use the Color Match control to make secondary color corrections based on color values that
you sample from images or select from the Windows Color dialog box or the Macintosh Color
Picker. If necessary, you can refine the input and output vectors after the color match to achieve the
precise correction that you want.
You can use the Color Match control together with the syringe to perform a secondary color
correction based on a range of sampled color values. In most circumstances, this is the best method
for achieving a good correction when the hue and saturation values of the area you want to correct are
somewhat varied. This method also shows the selected vector before you complete the match, which
makes it easier to check that you have a well-defined input vector.
You can also use the Color Match control to make a secondary color correction with the same basic
methods that you use to make Color Match corrections in the other Color Correction tabs. In this
case, Media Composer applies the match to a predefined range of colors centered on the single color
value that you sample, and you cannot see the input vector until the color match is complete. Though
generally less precise and less controllable than the first method, this technique might produce
acceptable results quickly if you need to correct an area of uniform color.
To make a secondary color correction using the Color Match control and the syringe:
1. Select, enable, and define the input vector using the syringe.
For more information, see “Defining a Vector with the Syringe” on page 682.
Media Composer automatically selects Isolate.
2. Select the output color using the standard Color Match eyedropper.
For more information, see “Making a Correction with the Color Match Control” on page 625.
3. Click the Match Type button, and select a Match Type to determine the exact nature of the match
Media Composer makes.
For more information on the options available in the Secondary group, see “Match Type
Options” on page 627.
4. Click the Match Color button.
Media Composer adjusts the output values for that vector, deselects Isolate, and displays the
corrected image in the monitor that contains the current segment.
