Creating a primary color correction
Performing an auto balance
Before matching colors, you can perform an auto balance on your target clip to
automatically apply a color shift to your clip to compensate for different lighting
conditions. To do this, click the
Auto Balance button under the corresponding
color map and use the eyedropper to select the area you want to correct in your
clip. For example, to balance your clip’s highlights, click the
Auto Balance
button under the Highlights color map, and click (or click and drag) on the
lightest area of your clip. The auto balance is performed immediately.
¦ Note To perform an auto white balance, click the Auto White Balance button
under the Master color map, and click (or click and drag) on a white or light gray
area of your clip.
