This workspace (by default round button 4) focuses on tuning and correcting the existing colors by prioritising HSL (Hue, Saturation and Luminance), B&W and Split Toning to the dials. These different dial pages can be accessed directly from the touch screen's page links. Split Toning dials are shown when entering this workspace.

- Red & orange,
- Yellow & Green,
- Aqua (cyan) & Blue,
- Purple & Magenta.

Functions which are common but not used for every image:
