All these parameters are based on simple color manipulations multiplying with a factor adding an offset raising to an exponent Noted as Color Decision List ASC CDL they offer an exchange format for basic look transformations between color correction systems and editing tools by different manufacturers The AMIRA image processing applies ASC CDL transforms to the Log C encoded image This allows manipulations such as exposure correction or bringing down highlights before the picture is converted to the display color space with its steeper contrast curve ASC CDL adjustments are available for AMIRA Advanced and Premium Slope The linear section of the Log C curve is equivalent to the gamma of a negative film stock The Log C curve has a default gamma of approximately 0 51 adjustable via slope parameter A slope value of 1 2 will have a similar effect as using negative stock with a gamma of 0 6 1 2 0 5 A value below 1 0 will lower the gamma accordingly Offset This most intuitive CDL parameter has a similar effect as increasing the exposure index on the camera If you are familiar with the motion picture print film process it s the same as printer lights Power Via power you can adjust the mid tones similar to the Gamma parameter in video color grading A power value below 1 0 will increase a value above 1 0 willl decrease the mid tone brightness Log Saturation This parameter affects the saturation of all
