Avid Color Correction lets you make corrections both automatically and manually. Automatic corrections are easy to learn, quick to implement, and can remove common color problems in the great majority of images. Manual corrections require more skill and practice but allow you more precise control over the final look of your images and give you a greater range of creative possibilities.

When you make automatic corrections, Avid Color Correction calculates and then makes the adjustments needed to improve a particular aspect of an image, for example its color balance. Some automatic corrections involve no input from you beyond the click of a single button; others allow you to assist Avid Color Correction in its calculations by identifying targets in an image with an eyedropper, for example, an area that should be white. When you make manual corrections, you make the adjustments that change the look of the image yourself using controls such as sliders and color wheels.
