Colour Correction on Adjustment Layer

[omiazad]

Recently I was introduced with Adjustment Layer and loved to know about it.

But I have some questions. One of them is why we should use an Adjustment Layer for colour correction adjustments, when we can do the colour correction right on the footage?

Can you please explain what are the advantages?

Apreciate your response.

An adjustment layer allows you to apply a consistent adjustment to all the clips under it, not just one.

Hello,

You can achieve below mentioned using the adjustment layers:

• Nondestructive edits. You can try different settings and re‑edit the adjustment layer at any time. You can also reduce the effect of the adjustment by lowering the opacity of the layer.
• Selective editing. Paint on the adjustment layer’s image mask to apply an adjustment to part of an image. Later you can control which parts of the image are adjusted by re-editing the layer mask. You can vary the adjustment by painting on the mask with different tones of gray.
• Ability to apply adjustments to multiple images. Copy and paste adjustment layers between images to apply the same color and tonal adjustments.
