Experimenting With Alternative Image Processing Options
The Color Space, Gamma, and Channels context menus are easy to overlook, but they have tons to offer, allowing us, with a single click to:
- Move into another color space and/or gamma curve
- Apply an adjustment in that space
- Isolate that adjustment to a single channel
- Move back into our original working space color space + gamma curve.
This ability to quickly and easily move between color spaces creates many creative possibilities for colorists.
