"I loved the Color class...I'm totally hooked on the software and have spent quite some time this week trying to master it. - Thanks for organizing this, this is some great knowledge that I don't think is being shared elsewhere yet. It's great to have a step ahead."

Thanks again,

Harold

Starting where the introductory class leaves off, Alexis guides the class through practical examples of secondary color correction, including use of the HSL qualifiers, vignettes, and custom user shapes. Next, the Color FX room is covered in depth, starting with the basics of node-based effects creation, and then moving through the creation of numerous examples of corrective and stylistic effects. This class concludes with an examination of controlling Color's image processing pipeline via your order of operations, and advanced grade management techniques.
