LIFT
Adjust the contrast of the image in the darker areas specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This adjustment is great for a changing the black point without changing saturation.
Y GAMMA
Adjust the contrast of the image in the mid-tone areas specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This control helps add depth to shots along with extra vibrancy.
Y GAIN
Adjust the contrast of the image in the brighter areas specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. You can reduce hot shots or pull the whites to make the shot look more angelic.
CONTRAST
Increase contrast to make the blacks darker and the whites brighter or decrease contrast to do the opposite. Use this to improve the dynamic range and make shots pop.
PIVOT
Changes the center of tonality about which dark and bright parts of the image are stretched or narrowed during a contrast adjustment.
MID-TONE DETAIL
Increases the contrast of regions of the image with high edge detail to increase or decrease the perception of image sharpness and definition or when lowered regions of the image with low amounts of detail are softened while areas of high detail are left untouched. Great for softening facial features and popular for beauty shots.
COLOUR BOOST
Naturally raise the saturation in regions of the image with low saturation while leaving properly saturated areas alone. Sometimes referred to as a vibrance operation this is great for adding color without over saturating the image.
SHADOWS
Selectively lighten or darken shadow detail. Raising this value retrieves shadow detail while leaving the mid-tones untouched.
HIGHLIGHTS
Easily retrieve blown out highlight detail in high dynamic range media by lowering this parameter to achieve a smooth blend between the retrieved highlights and the unadjusted mid tones for a natural result.
SATURATION
Increases or decreases overall image saturation. At higher values colors appear more intense while at lower values color intensity diminishes and can be adjusted until all color is gone leaving a grayscale image.
HUE
Rotates all hues of the image around the full perimeter of the color wheel. The default setting is 50 which retains the original unaffected distribution of hues.
LUMINANCE MIX
Control the balance between the YRGB adjustments and Y only adjustments made using the Y channel lift gamma and gain controls in the primaries palette or the un-ganged luma curve.
PROFESSIONAL TRACKBALLS
Trackballs provide RGB balance adjustments for lift gamma and gain each with a master level control. The Advanced panel also features a dedicated RGB offset and master gain trackball to adjust the tint and brightness of the entire image. The trackballs can be set to work in either log or RGB with the touch of a button.
ILLUMINATED KEYS
