Color Correction
Diagnose and fix video/image color OBJECTIVELY with the analyze_color tool (scopes/stats — black/white points, contrast, saturation, clipping, cast) instead of eyeballing a contact sheet. Covers the "washed out" signature, why reference color-match (mkl/ColorMatch/ColorMatchAdobe) CAN'T add contrast a flat source lacks, the levels/contrast-stretch fix (core AdjustContrast / CurveEditor), the measure→fix→re-measure loop, the side-by-side sandbox pattern, and where to place the fix in a render graph (after decode, before save). Use when a render looks washed out / flat / dull / over-saturated / color-cast, or when deciding between a color-match and a contrast/levels fix.
