the blue metric colors, curves panel has changed a bit with the CC 2019 release of premiere pro. So let me walk through some of the changes. They are better for fine tuning and picking specific colors and adjusting those colors, selective color grading is what we'll call this. So if you go and open the loo metric color with a clip selected and then drop down the curves panel. You can see that we have these different options, let's go through them one at a time. First we have a huge oversaturation. How this works is you have your hue on the horizontal axis and the saturation on the vertical axis. So we can go in here and pick any hue and at a point and increase. Now what happens though is when I do that the entire clip gets more saturated or less saturated and that's because the entire line is moving up or down. Let me undo that. Say we want to pick just the yellows, we can select three points. So select one there, one there and then one in the middle and then drop down the middle. Now ...

this is going to increase or decrease the saturation of just yellows. How do we find tune this even more. Let me undo that We can use our eye dropper to select a color in our clip. Say we want to adjust this yellow, we can pick that. It picks exactly that yellow. Now we take the centerpoint an increase or decrease that saturation. Now if you do this and you want to increase the range, we can move these points in or out, we can also add another point in here. So it kind of selects the entire range that was selected so we can decrease the saturation of that entire yellow. Now, of course, if this was too wide, then we might start to look a little bit funky because some of our skin tones look a little weird. Let me undo this really quickly. So hue versus hue, this is going to change the hue or the color of a specific color. So again, let's take this color picker. What if we want to make this yellow blanket match wills t shirt, so it doesn't stand out, stand out as much. Now, let's select that yellow. Now let's take the middle point, we're gonna drop it down and up to see if we move up, we get more of that pink or that magenta color. So we're gonna start off around there. Now that's not all we need to do because it's a little too saturated and a little too bright. So let's go back up to hue versus saturation. Take our eyedropper, pick that color now, drop it down just a little bit now, we're getting a little bit closer now, it's a little bright, so I'm going to tone it down with Hugh verse Louima again, we're going to take our color picker, select that color and drop it down just a little bit. So here, we can see we've selected that yellow color, we've dropped it down, we might want to go back up just a little bit and play with the huge just to see they add a little bit more orange to it, Something like that, looking pretty darn good. Now you can do this multiple times, so we can say, oh let's go change all the blues and we can increase or decrease. Now you can see starting to get really funky with this. Now, if you want to fine tune the reds for example, see how it ends on the edge of this window, it doesn't matter. This is kind of a continuous loop, We can drag this over to the left or right and see how it kind of loops around so that we can fine tune our reds and that's how you get a better look at those reds. Now, let's look at this other option, loom a versus saturation. So let's go to this next clip, which is a night clip. Now, remember before we saw that it was Hugh verse. Loom a and Hugh is on the horizontal access now, Loom A is on the horizontal axis. So we have our darks are mid and our highlights and we're adjusting the saturation. So say we want to decrease the saturation of the darks to get rid of some of these warm kind of yellow colors in the shadows. If we put a clip there, or point there and we point there and we drop that down, notice how it gets rid of the color in the darks or shadows, making it look a little bit more natural, of course there's other things we need to need to do with this clip. Same thing, if we go to the highlights, we can bring down the highlights or up the highlights and that increases or decreases the saturation. Again, we can use the color dropper to pick a specific sort of luminescence and drop down and we can adjust it to increase the range saturation versus saturation. Now this one, it's a little hard to see what's happening, but this is adjusting the saturation of a specific saturation. So say we I dropped this yellow, it's picking those highlights up in the right hand side, we can decrease that saturation all the way if we expand this just a little bit, If we take this well, if we want to play with the saturation of the darker parts, we can drop this down or up and that's actually going to decrease the saturation of all the sort of unsaturated parts of this video clip. Cool, so that is the new selective color tools that you can play around with, Let me know if you have any other questions, this is a great way to get more creative with your color grading. one of the biggest effects that you might use this for is if you want to not only change the specific color, but also d saturate all the colors except for one. So notice on this hue versus saturation graph, if we drop down all these other colors, except for that yellow, which is now pink because of the huge oversaturation. Now, we can basically de saturate everything except for a specific color. Cool, well, have fun with this one. Let me know if you have any questions.
