Chapter 11. Color Correction

Color correction is a way to correct camera exposure so that it conforms to how we want it to look. It's a complex process that's almost an art in itselfyou'll need to practice and cultivate patience if you're to create stunning movies from badly shot video.

In this chapter, you learn how to use the four different types of color correction filters that come with Liquid Edition: the Base Color Corrector, the Auto Color Corrector, the Color Editor (Classic), and the ColorCorrection Editor (sometimes referred to as the Secondary or CX Color Editor). I also show you the basics of correcting some pretty 0commonplace color problems, such as white balance, and also how to create special effects using only color.

Please note that a number of illustrations in this chapter are duplicated in the color insert section of this book.
