HSV Correct

HSV Correct

Lets you remap hue, saturation and luminance independently for each colour family around the wheel by drawing curves against hue. Useful for boosting only the blues in a sky, desaturating only the reds in a busy logo, lifting the brightness of skin tones without affecting backgrounds, or making one specific colour pop while leaving the rest alone. Use the in-panel curves editor — the underlying numerical curve point arrays are scripted via the API rather than the Script Engine.

Composer's Color Correction family contains nine operators that work on the colour of the image. Each takes a different approach — picking the right combination is part of the grading workflow, and the operators are designed to be stacked. The other Color Correction operators are:

  • Automatic Gain Control — measures average brightness in a sensor area and optionally nudges the picture back to a stored reference luminance. Good for stabilising drifting exposure on long-running feeds.
  • Color Adjust — general-purpose colour correction with gain/gamma/lift, HSV adjustments, per-channel RGBA, and clipping in one operator. The fastest way to match cameras, tame highlights, or lift crushed blacks.
  • Color Curves — master and per-channel (R/G/B/A) curve editor with an automatic grey-card camera-calibration workflow. The right choice when you need precise control over a specific tonal range.
  • Color Shift — three-zone colour balance (shadows / midtones / highlights) along Cyan/Red, Magenta/Green, Yellow/Blue. Build cinematic teal-and-orange looks or fix mixed-lighting casts that hit shadows and highlights differently.
  • Grading LUT — applies a pre-baked Hald CLUT image to drop a finished colour grade onto a feed in a single step. The fastest way to deploy a house style across many compositions.
  • Hue Shift — selects a hue band by centre, tolerance and softness, then shifts its hue, saturation or luminance independently. The tool for recolouring a specific object without affecting the rest of the image.
  • Vibrance — boosts the colourfulness of muted tones while protecting already-saturated colours and skin tones. Make landscapes pop without making faces look orange.
  • White Balance — corrects colour temperature (cool/warm) and tint (green/magenta) with presets for daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, and shade lighting.
