Color Correction Node¶
The Color Correction node can adjust the color of an image, separately in several tonal ranges (highlights, midtones and shadows) and only affect the necessary RGB channels.
Properties¶
- Red, Green, Blue
- Specifies which RGB-channels will be affected by correction.
Correction tools (columns)¶
- Saturation
- Adjusts the image’s saturation.
- Contrast
- Adjust image contrast.
- Gamma
- Exponential gamma correction, affecting the midtones of the image. (Works like Power in the Color Balance node.).
- Gain
- Multiplier, stronger influence on the highlights. (Works like Slope in the Color Balance node).
- Lift
- This value (can be negative) will be added (+), linear lightens or darkens the image. (Works like Offset in the Color Balance node).
Tonal ranges (rows)¶
- Master
- these sliders affect the entire tonal range.
- Highlights
- these sliders only affect the highlights.
- Midtones
- these sliders only affect the midtones.
- Shadows
- Affects the dark tones of an image often affecting the shadows.
- Midtones Start, Midtones End
- Defines the start and the end of midtones range, i.e. values where the whole tonal range is divided into the highlights, midtones and shadows. (There is also a smooth transition between the ranges of width 0.2 units.)
Inputs¶
