Adjust the black point by dragging the 10 Bit Black Point slider right or left.

5
the rest of the image appear too dark, use the Highlight Rolloff slider to adjust these bright highlights.)
Adjust midtones by dragging the Gamma slider to the left to darken midtones, or to the right to lighten midtones.

If highlights appear as white blotches, drag the Highlight Rolloff slider to the right until details are visible. An

Note: Each computer monitor has unique display characteristics that affect your perception of color on-screen. For best
results when evaluating tonal balance, use the Info panel in After Effects to see the true color values of pixels as you move

Color Profile Converter effect
The Color Profile Converter effect converts a layer from one color space to another by specifying input and output
profiles. You can use the profile specified in Project Settings, or select another profile. The profiles you select are
embedded in your project, so you can use them even if you transfer the project to a computer that does not have the
same profiles. When converting from one color space to another, you can specify how After Effects handles the color
conversion by selecting a rendering intent. You can also choose whether to linearize the input or output profile.
