Avid Color Correction provides two groups of color correction controls, the HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) group and the Curves group.

You can make both automatic and manual adjustments using one or both groups of controls. If you make adjustments in both groups, you can turn either group on or off independently to control which adjustments are active. When you view the sequence or render the Color Correction effect, your application applies the adjustments from the active groups to create the final appearance. For more information on the interaction between the two groups, see Understanding Interaction Between Color Correction Groups.

Each group uses a different kind of control for making adjustments. The HSL group provides controls for adjusting attributes such as hue, saturation, gain, and gamma. The Curves group allows you to manipulate points on a graph that control the relationship between input and output color.
