ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 311 User Guide Color Balance effect The Color Balance effect changes the amount of red, green, and blue in the shadows, midtones, and highlights of an image. Preserve Luminosity Preserves the average brightness of the image while changing the color. This control maintains the tonal balance in the image. Color Balance (HLS) effect The Color Balance (HLS) effect alters an image's levels of hue, luminance, and saturation. Hue Specifies the color scheme of the image. Lightness Specifies the brightness of the image. Saturation Adjusts the image's color saturation. The default value is 0 which doesn't affect the colors. Negative values decrease saturation, with -100 converting the clip to grayscale. Values greater than 0 produce more saturated colors. Equalize effect The Equalize effect alters an image's pixel values to produce a more consistent brightness or color component distribution. The effect works similarly to the Equalize command in Adobe Photoshop. Pixels with 0 alpha (completely transparent) values aren't considered. Equalize RGB equalizes the image based on red, green, and blue components. Brightness equalizes the image based on the brightness of each pixel. Photoshop Style equalizes by redistributing the brightness values of the pixels in an image so that they more evenly represent the entire range of brightness levels. Amount To Equalize How much to redistribute the brightness values. At 100%, the pixel values are spread as evenly as possible; lower percentages redistribute fewer pixel values. Fast Color Corrector effect (High bit-depth) The Fast Color Corrector effect adjusts a clip's color using hue and saturation controls. The effect also has levels controls for adjusting intensity levels of image shadows, midtones, and highlights. This effect is recommended for making simple color corrections that preview quickly in the Program monitor. Output Lets you view adjustments in the Program monitor as the final results (Composite), tonal value adjustments (Luma), or display of the alpha matte (Mask). Show Split View Displays the left or upper part of the image as the corrected view and the right or lower part of the image as the uncorrected view. Layout Determines whether the Split View images are side by side (Horizontal) or above and below (Vertical). Split View Percent Adjusts the size of the corrected view. The default is 50%. White Balance Assigns a white balance to an image using the Eyedropper tool to sample a target color in the image or anywhere on your monitor's desktop. You can also click the color swatch to open the Adobe Color Picker and select a color to define the white balance. Hue Balance And Angle Controls hue and saturation adjustments using a color wheel. A circular thumb moves about the center of wheel and controls the hue (UV) translation. A perpendicular handle on the thumb controls balance magnitude, which affects the relative coarseness or fineness of the control. The outer ring of the wheel controls hue rotation. April 1, 2008
