Colorista Free interface

Colorista Free has a simple interface for easy, beautiful results. You will work with the 3-Way color wheels and Sasturation slider for color correction. For sharing CDL metadata, there are CDL sldiers and a CDL Burn-in feature.

 

 

 

3-Way wheels

Three correction wheels that adjust the Shadows, Midtones and Highlights in your image. These wheels are similar to a Lift/Gamma/Gain 3-way color corrector. If you are familiar with our Colorista II corrector, then you already know and love these controls since they operate exactly the same in both products. Read more here.

 

 

CDL sliders

Nine numeric sliders that directly edit the RGB values of your color correction, which are the Color Decision List (CDL) values. NOTE: These sliders are not recommended for color correction. They are present to display show and directly edit CDL values. Read more here.

 

 

CDL Burn-in pop-up

Burn-in lets you communicate the CDL metadata by 'burning' their numerical values into your footage. Read more here.

 

Saturation

The Saturation slider raises or lowers the colorfulness or intensity of color of your footage. Default value is 1.0. Value range is 0 to 2.

The default setting of 1.0 does not affect the saturation of your image. Lower values drain color from the image, making it closer to grayscale. Higher values add color intensity and causes your image’s color to become more bold. Be careful when using this parameter as a high Saturation can make colors look too pure and artificial-looking.

Left to right, Saturation at 0.5, 1.0 (default) and 2.0.
