Colour and looks

Quick looks, fine controls and a histogram to check your work.

Updated 7 October 2026

Pick a look

Open Filters and click a look to try it. Use the strength slider to ease it off.

Fine-tune

Open the colour controls to adjust:

  • Brightness, contrast, saturation and exposure
  • Temperature and tint, for warm or cool pictures
  • Highlights and shadows
  • Vignette, blur and sharpen

In the Advanced workspace you also get colour wheels and curves.

Check the picture

The luma histogram shows how bright your picture really is. If the graph is squashed against one side, the picture may be too dark or too bright.

Copy a grade

Select a graded clip, copy it, select other clips and choose Paste attributes to match them.

Before and after

Toggle the effects off and on to see what you have changed.
