Color correction is the process of editing film or video footage to fix any imbalances in the color. It’s used in stage lighting, photography, television, and cinematography.
The goal of color correction is to:
- Maintain or restore natural colors
- Correct issues like color cast, overexposure, or underexposure
- Match the colors between each of your video clips
- Ensure that important hues like skin tones are accurately represented
Color correction can also be used to:
- Alter the overall color of the light
- Unify your footage
