Performing Curves Grading

When the Curves menu is enabled, you can use the Function panel to:

• Modify Hue and RGB curves either after the initial primary colour grade, or after the addition of any Lustre Sparks^® effects.
• Adjust the Hue, Lightness, Saturation, and Luminance curves separately.
• Modify the entire curve uniformly or modify individual vertices for RGBCMY channels (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow).

To modify Hue and RGB curves:

1. Press Curves on the Navigation panel.

   The In Primary, Out Primary, Hue, and RGB options are activated.

   
2. Do one of the following:
   • Press the F1 option button to indicate that you are working on the initial primary grade.

   • Press the F3 option button to work on Hue curves.
   • Press the F4 option button to work on RGB curves.
