Description
Saved Color Labels
Select an item from the pop-up menu to control how custom colors are named in bins. For information on saving custom colors, see Saving Custom Colors to a Bin.
  None
When selected, the system does not supply a name.
  RGB
When selected, the system uses the 8-bit values for the red, green, and blue components as the name.
  Name
When selected, the system uses the name from the standard HTML color scheme that most closely matches the color you are saving.
  Name and RGB
When selected, the system uses both the Name and the RGB information as the name. This is the default option.
Real Time Image Updating
When this option is selected, the image in the active monitor updates on-the-fly as you move controls in the Color Correction tool. This provides instant feedback on your adjustments, but the updating process might not always be smooth due to system processing limitations. This is the default option.
  You can switch the current setting for Real Time Image Updating on and off by pressing and holding the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh). If Real Time Image Updating is on, pressing and holding the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) will turn updating off temporarily. If Real Time Image Updating is off, pressing and holding the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) will turn updating on temporarily.
Eyedropper 3 x 3 Averaging
When this option is selected, the system calculates the color value to pick by averaging the values of a 3 x 3 sample of pixels centered on the eyedropper's position. This is often useful for picking up a color accurately by sight because it compensates for shifts in color value from one pixel to another. When this option is deselected, the system selects the color value of the exact pixel at the eyedropper's position.
Show Eyedropper Info
When this option is selected, the numerical RGB values appear on the color swatches in the Color Match controls.
Eyedropper Picks from Anywhere in Application
When this option is selected, the eyedropper can pick a color from anywhere within the Avid application, for example the swatch for a custom color in a bin.
