Does Apple’s Color intimidate you because of its non Mac-like user interface? I personally have been taking baby steps by using its automatic settings. Now that I’m comfortable knowing I won’t destroy any of my edits, I’m ready to jump in and really learn the program.

At our tucfcpug meeting on Monday, Bob Demers will demonstrate the use of Color; its primary and secondary rooms, and some node based filters. He’ll be demonstrating on an actual project so we’ll be able to see his workflow as well.

So if you want to learn a few tips on how powerful Color can be in production, we’ll see you there.
