Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 313)

The Primary Out room provides an additional set of controls for overall color correction,
but it can also be used as a tool to trim the grades applied to a selected group of shots.
This chapters covers the different uses of the Primary Out room, which shares the same
controls as the Primary In room. For more information about primary color correction
controls, see
The Primary In Room .
This chapter covers the following:
• What Is the Primary Out Room Used For? (p. 313)
• Making Extra Corrections Using the Primary Out Room (p. 314)
• Understanding the Image Processing Pipeline (p. 314)
• Ceiling Controls (p. 315)
What Is the Primary Out Room Used For?
The controls and functionality of the Primary Out room duplicate those of the Primary In
room. This includes sharing saved corrections as the Primary In and Out rooms access
the same saved corrections in their bins.
The Primary Out room is valuable for three main reasons:
• It provides an extra room that you can use to make additional modifications to a shot’s
grade, without changing the adjustments applied using the Primary In room.
• The Primary Out room comes after the Primary In, Secondaries, and Color FX rooms in
the image processing pipeline, so you can apply adjustments to the overall image after
the corrections and effects have been added in the other rooms.
• There are three additional controls in the Primary Out toom that don’t exist in the
Primary In room. The Ceiling parameters give you one more way to limit the color
values in a shot to legalize or stylize them.
