Joe’s Saturation & Colorize saturates, desaturates or colorizes an image to a specific hue. Color-targeted desaturation can produce results similar to the look of Black and White film shot through a colored glass filter.
Because Final Cut Pro’s built in Tint filter does a good job of recreating a traditional colorize effect, Joe’s Saturation & Colorize uses a different method of colorization, combining channels to build a resulting image from a variable mix of one or two color channels.

Out of Range Colors
The Saturation controls in Joe’s Noise - Saturation can produce colors well outside of the broadcast safe gamut. At high Saturation values, the entire image will likely be illegal. If you’re end product is going to broadcast, stay away from the high-end of the Saturation input and check your output levels.
Controls
-
Hue Angle (-360 - 360°)
-
Specified the color mix to use for saturation or colorization adjustments. Red is 0°, Green is 120° and Blue is 240°.
-
Saturation (0 - 1000%)
-
Chooses the amount of color intensity in the image. At 100%, the image is unchanged, less than 100% desaturates, greater than 100% saturates. When Colorize is checked, the image is unchanged at 0%.
-
Colorize
-
When checked, the slider becomes a colorize control. 100% replaces all color in the image with the selected hue while maintaining overall luminance. 0% is the original image. Values over 100% add color to the image eventually blowing out the entire image.
