ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 263 User Guide When making adjustments with the color wheel and Saturation control, it's useful to open a Reference Monitor to view the Vectorscope ganged to the composite video in the Program Monitor. The color wheel adjustments offer the following adjustments: Hue Angle Rotates the color towards a target color. Moving the outer ring to the left rotates the colors towards green. Moving the outer ring to the right rotates the colors towards red. Balance Magnitude Controls the intensity of the color introduced into the video. Moving the circle out from the center increases the magnitude (intensity). The intensity can be fine-tuned by moving the Balance Gain handle. Balance Gain Affects the relative coarseness or fineness of the Balance Magnitude and Balance Angle adjustment. Keeping the perpendicular handle of this control close to the center of the wheel makes the adjustment very subtle (fine). Moving the handle toward the outer ring makes the adjustment very obvious (coarse). Balance Angle Shifts the video color towards a target color. Moving the Balance Magnitude circle towards a specific hue shifts the color accordingly. The intensity of the shift is controlled by the combined adjustment of the Balance Magnitude and Balance Gain.

Moving the slider to 0 desaturates the image so only the luminance values show (an image made up of white, grays, and black). Moving the slider to the right increases the saturation.
