In many situations when you are correcting on a shot-to-shot basis, color matching is complicated by differences in lighting between one shot and another. For example, you might want to match the skin tone in Shot A, which is in shadow, with that in Shot B, which is brightly lit. To achieve a natural-looking correction, you need to replace the hue of Shot A while preserving luminance and saturation characteristics that suggest shadow.
NaturalMatch solves this problem by making calculations that compensate for the luminance and saturation qualities of the original image when making the correction. The correction that is made when you use NaturalMatch adopts the new hue value, preserves the original luminance value, and adjusts the saturation value in relation to the other values. NaturalMatch allows you to use the quick correction method offered by the Color Match control even when images show significant differences in lighting.
