#### Colorista at a Glance

Maxon's Colorista is a professional color correction plugin that provides streamlined, real-time color grading tools directly on your editing timeline. Use Colorista's guided color correction system for a step-by-step, non-destructive process that helps quickly optimize black and white levels, midtones, contrast, saturation, and color balance. Then perform advanced color corrections, create multi-layered masked adjustments, and work with LUTs easily within your chosen editing host. Colorista features intuitive workflows, HDR grading capabilities, and a copious number of controls for simplifying any color grading task.

#### Getting Started with Guided Color Correction

If you aren't familiar with color correction, or you want to get a head start on the process, select the Guided Color Correction option to begin a comprehensive, basic color correction wizard. After completing this process, your selections and alterations will populate the rest of Colorista's controls, which you can then tweak and adjust to your liking.
