This is particularly useful for reducing the impact of highly color saturated parts of an
image while leaving the rest of the image untouched.As with so many effects, the best way to learn what each of these controls can do is to try them
on some clips and apply extreme adjustments.
Let’s try these controls on some clips.
1. Open the sequence The Ancestor Simulation. Play the sequence to familiarize yourself with
the shots. These images have muted colors with some specific regions with distinguishable
colors, like the flowers on the table.2. Expand the Curves section of the Lumetri Color panel, and then set the Timeline playhead
over the first clip.3. At the top right of each curve control, there’s an eyedropper that you use to
automatically set a control point based on the part of the image you click and to add two
control points (one on either side) to separate the adjustment you’ll make from the rest of
the curve.Use the eyedropper for the Hue vs Sat curve to select the petals of the reddish flower closest
to the camera on the table.
4. The selection is right at the edges of the hue graph. Drag the navigator at the bottom of the
curve control to access the control points more easily.
5. Drag the middle control point up to increase the saturation for the flower.
