Color grading effects are ideal for modifying the final look of a project, for artistic or stylistic purposes. Color grading was originally a photo lab term for the process of changing the color appearance during the process of duplicating source film to create a release print. These effects allow you to achieve similar results digitally, with a fine degree of control. Each effect has its own page, where full details of the effect and its controls are available.
