Floating Point Color Space
Unlike other color correction tools, Color Finesse isn't limited to 8-bits per color channel. In fact, it's not limited to 10- or even 16-bits per color. Color Finesse uses a 32-bit floating-point representation for each color channel, for 96 bits per pixel.
By using floating point, Color Finesse is able to encode colors with great resolution, while at the same time maintaining tremendous latitude. Even extreme adjustments don't cause clipping of out-of-range highlights and shadows.
Flexible Controls
Control the gain, gamma, pedestal, hue and saturation of your images. Work in HSL, RGB, CMY, or YCbCr color spaces. Control the overall image, or work with individual color channels. Flexibility is the key to getting just the look you want, and flexibility is what Color Finesse offers with its myriad controls and tools.
Individually adjustable color channel curves let you define exactly how color levels will be processed. Levels control determine input and output black, white, and gray points.
Secondary Color Correction
Want to change the color of a scarf or punch up a bland gray sky? Color Finesse's six-channel secondary color corrector allows you to isolate up to six separate colors which can be adjusted for hue, saturation, and hue offset. Each of the six channels defines a color range based on up to four color samples with settable luma and chroma tolerance, and a range softness control, allowing you to easily isolate colors without harsh edges.
Resolution Independence
Color Finesse is entirely resolution-independent, letting you correct NTSC, PAL, HDTV, film, or web projects.
Automated Color Matching
Need to match the color in one frame to a color in another frame? Color Finesse provides single-button color matching to provide natural-looking color matches without fiddling.
Smart Color Limiting and Soft-Clip
Color Finesse's 32-bit floating-point color space allows you to make radical changes in color and luma levels without clipping, but before final output you'll need to bring things back into range. Color Finesse provides accurate luma soft-clipping, as well as color limiting to meet NTSC and PAL standards.
