Hue, Saturation and Luminance Qualification
To change the grade on a specific section of an image, you must first select the portion you want to
change. One selection type is the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance (HSL) qualifier. Select the HSL sub
tab, place the cursor over the area of the image you wish to qualify, and select with the left mouse
button. You can adjust the qualification for the secondary color correction isolation immediately, but a
simpler way to view the selected area is by pressing the ‘Highlight’ button on the secondary tab.
The image on the Viewer and Grading monitor will now only display the image that is qualified; everything
else will be replaced with gray. There is a high contrast mode set in the Config settings tab to make this
a black and white rather than gray contrast. Under the ‘Highlight’ button on the UI, the Invert button will
invert the Image and Qualifier controls, so instead of using the Qualifier controls to select the area to
make a change, you are in fact selecting the areas you will not change.
