The Color Correct node


The Color Correct node takes its input image and applies a color correction to it. It uses the same controls as the Color Corrector application; see Color correction.

You can choose between Graph, RGB, or HSV correction. Each Color Correct node can only work in one of these modes. For RGB and HSV modes it can only work on a single component at a time. Thus if you want to correct both red and green simultaneously, you will either need to use Graph mode, or you will need to use two Color Correct nodes: one for the red component, and one for the green.

When you first create the node, it is set to Graph correction. To change this, use the Column Properties window. Select the Graph column (see Selecting columns), choose View > Properties, and click on the Column tab:

Click on the RGB, HSV, Tint or Graph button; the column name changes to match your choice.

You set the amount of color correction by adding keyframes to the Color Correct node's XSheet column, and then opening a corrector panel from the Key Properties window. Ensure the keyframe is selected, choose View > Properties, and click on the Key tab:

Click on the Color Corrector button; the corrector panel appears.
