10 Preface Color Documentation and Resources
Using the Color Documentation
The documentation that accompanies Color consists of a printed setup Guide and an
onscreen user manual.
Color Setup Guide
The Color Setup Guide provides excerpts from the onscreen user manual that are
designed to show you how Color fits into each of a variety of post-production
workflows, and help you to configure the project settings and user preferences in Color
to best suit your needs. If you’ve just installed Color and want to figure out how to set
up your system to work most efficiently, this is the place to start.
Color Onscreen User Manual
The Color User Manual, available from the Help menu, provides comprehensive
information about the application, and is written for users of all levels of experience.
 Editors and post-production professionals from other disciplines who are new to the
color correction process will find information on how to get started, with detailed
explanations of how all controls work, and why they function the way they do.
 Colorists coming to Color from other grading environments can skip ahead to find
detailed information about Color’s inner workings, and exhaustive parameter-by-
parameter explanations for every room of the Color interface.
Note: The onscreen user manual provides all of the information contained in the Color
Setup Guide, in an easily searchable form with full-color illustrations.
Tutorials
A collection of onscreen video tutorials on DVD-ROM is available to help you quickly
get started using Color. These tutorials walk you through every major area of the
interface, and are a good way to get an overview of where everything is prior to diving
into the user manual.
