Selecting areas with Qualifiers
The computer mathematics behind the HSL curves create very smooth and natural results
that are much trickier to get using other methods. However, the hue selection process is
also limited in its control.
Selecting areas with Qualifiers
The qualifier palette is another method of isolating a color for secondary color corrections.
Compared to the HSL curves, it is a more sophisticated palette that includes several ways
to select that color using hue, luminance, and saturation. This detailed level of control
enables you to get a clean isolation, or matte, of objects even when other elements in
theshot are of a similar color.
TIP Qualifiers are used only as a method of creating a matte. They are not color-
grading tools in themselves, and you only start to see their effects when you begin
adjustments in the color-grading palettes.
1 Select clip 08.
For this shot, you’ll create a much-requested stylized image in which one color will be
preserved, while the rest of the image is black-and-white. You’ve seen many movies
with this effect and maybe even tried creating it in other applications. The critical task
is being able to cleanly isolate the color you want to keep. You should keep this
operation separate from the balance adjustments already created on the first node.
2 In the node editor, right click over node 01 and choose Add node > Add Serial.
3 Right click over node 02 and label the node PINK SCARF.
