— Bradford Linear is also a commonly used method, albeit one in which extremely saturated blues will go purple during the transform. It works well for both emissive sources in
dim environments and for reflective sources (theater screens) and dark environments.
— Von Kries is one of the oldest methods in common use, although it’s also one in which extremely saturated blues will go purple during the transform. This, as well as all other methods, are available if you need to match work done in another image processing application.
— Source/Target Illuminant: You control this transformation by using pop-up menus to define the Illuminant Type of the source (typically the color temperature the camera was set to), and that of the target that you want to transform the image to. For both sets of controls, you can choose a Standard Illuminant from a list, a Color Temperature via a slider, or CIE 1931 xy coordinate values. This image transform is extremely precise because the image is first transformed from the Timeline Color Space to XYZ, and then it’s transformed to match the LMS (long, medium, short) color space that models the cone response of the human eye to colors lit by different illuminants.
NOTE: Be aware that all methods listed will match neutral colors perfectly; the only differences lie in how different ranges of saturated color are transformed.

— Current Color Space and Gamma: This plugin also takes into account the current color space and gamma of the clip, which default to those set for the current timeline. If you wish to change these values, you can do so using the Color Space and Gamma menus.
Color Compressor (Studio Version Only)
This filter lets you compress a range of colors toward a single target color. It works best when applied to similarly colored regions that have been isolated with a secondary qualifier or window. For example, if you’re adjusting an irregularly lit product such as a soda can or a dress that must have a very specific hue, you can isolate that item and use this filter to push the range of Hue, Saturation, and Luminance closer to the target color that’s identified using the color picker.
