Lesson 14 Designing CreativeLooks
Saving Grades Across Projects
You will often want to access your previous grades when working on new projects.
A common reason could be that your work is episodic and requires a similar stylistic look
from one episode to the next. Or, you might just like a specific grade you’ve created and
want to use it again and again.
Previously, you used the stills gallery to save grades. You will now return to the Gallery to
understand how you can share grades across projects.
1 In the upper-left corner of the interface, click the Gallery button to return to the Gallery.
2 In the upper-left corner of the Gallery, click the still albums icon.
Understanding additive color
What color do you get when you mix all the colors of the rainbow?
Some people will think of how light refracts from a prism and say that every color
combined produces white. Others pause and think about what happens when you
mix all the colors in your paint palette, resulting in a colorless gray sludge.
However, the true answer depends on whether you are treating colors in an
additive or subtractive sense. Subtractive colors are used in painting and print
mediums. Additive color is used in light-based mediums such as sunlight, stage
lights, or computer screens.
Because grading is performed using a computer screen, it uses an additive
colorsystem; however, when grading, you think about color design in a
subtractivesystem.
For instance, in a subtractive color space, complementary colors produce
aesthetically pleasing combinations, so you tend to create looks using these
complementary colors. But when it comes to grading, complementary colors
combined on an additive color wheel will neutralize one another. Adding blue to
yellow will produce white (or some variety of gray). This is a vital principle to
understand for color correction workflows.
