Lesson 12 Performing Primary ColorCorrections

Now that you have maximized the contrast, you can compare those changes with

theoriginal image, this time using the menu option.

5 Choose View > Bypass Color and Fusion > Bypass All Grades, or press Shift-D,

toseethe original image; then press Shift-D again to view the corrected image.

With just a few simple adjustments you have created a better-looking shot in which the

image shadows appear rich and dark while the highlights have detail.

Checking Adjustments on Scopes

As an objective way to evaluate adjustments made while color correcting, DaVinci Resolve

includes five video signal scopes. You can use the Waveform, Parade, Vectorscope,

Histogram and CIE scope to check the luminance, exposure, hue, saturation and color

space of a clip.

1 Click the video scope button to the far right of the toolbar.

2 Click the disclosure arrow to open the video scope drop down menu.

Using the menu, you can switch between the five different scopes depending on what

you want to monitor.

3 Choose Parade.
