Summary

In this chapter, you have seen that color scopes are used as a reference to check the technical parameters of color grading.

You saw that color curves and color boards/wheels are ways to process the order of color grading by adjusting the exposure, saturation, and color. Scopes are graphical tools for monitoring the changes made.

You saw that there are three main scopes: waveform, vectorscope, and histogram. Each has its use.

You learned that scopes provide more accuracy than your eyes can enable. Scopes are used alongside all of the correction tools: color board, color wheels, color curves, and hue/saturation curves.
