Adjust
From PlugInFinder
Adobe After Effects 6.5 contains five new Adjust effects, which support 16-bits per channel color: Auto Color, Auto Contrast, Auto Levels, Photo Filter, and Shadow/Highlight. All of these effects function just like their respective image-adjustment command and adjustment layer in Photoshop, but with additional temporal control for the Auto Color, Auto Contrast, Auto Levels, and Shadow/Highlight effects.

After Effects built-in plug-ins
- Brightness & Contrast - The Brightness & Contrast effect adjusts the brightness and contrast of the entire layer (not individual channels). The center point of each slider is neutral and indicates no effect. The layer's quality setting does not affect Brightness & Contrast. Using the Brightness & Contrast effect is the easiest way to make simple adjustments to the tonal range of the image. It adjusts all pixel values in the image at once--highlights, shadows, and midtones.
- Channel Mixer - The Channel Mixer effect modifies a color channel using a mix of the current color channels. Use it to make creative color adjustments not easily done with the other color adjustment tools: Create high-quality grayscale images by choosing the percentage contribution from each color channel, create high-quality sepia-tone or other tinted images, and swap or duplicate channels. The Constant (-Const) controls specify the base amount of the input channel to be added to the output channel. Monochrome applies the same settings to all the output channels, creating a color image that contains only gray values. This is useful for images that you plan to convert to grayscale. If you select and then deselect Monochrome, you can modify the blend of each channel separately, creating a hand-tinted appearance.
- Color Balance - The Color Balance effect changes the amount of red, green, and blue color in a layer. The center point of each slider is neutral and indicates no change. A setting of -100 removes all of the color; a setting of +100 intensifies the color. The layer's quality setting does not affect Color Balance. The Shadow/Midtone/Hilight channel Balance controls specify the amount of a channel's color in the darker, middle, and lighter color intensity ranges of a layer. Preserve Luminosity preserves the average brightness of the image while changing the color. This control maintains the tonal balance in the image.
- Color Stabilizer effect (Pro only) - The Color Stabilizer effect samples the exposure of specified areas of a single reference, or pivot, frame; it then adjusts the total exposure of all the other frames to maintain the value of the selected point in the pivot frame. This is useful to remove flicker from footage and to equalize the exposure of footage with color shifts caused by varying lighting situations.
- Curves effect - The Color Balance effect changes the amount of red, green, and blue color in a layer. The center point of each slider is neutral and indicates no change. A setting of -100 removes all of the color; a setting of +100 intensifies the color. The layer's quality setting does not affect Color Balance.
- Hue/Saturation - The Hue/Saturation effect adjusts the hue, saturation, and lightness of individual color components in an image. This effect is based on the color wheel. Adjusting the hue, or color, represents a move around the color wheel. Adjusting the saturation, or purity of the color, represents a move across its radius. Use the Colorize control to add color to a grayscale image converted to RGB, or to add color to an RGB image.
- Levels - The Levels effect remaps the range of input color levels onto a new range of output color levels, and changes the gamma correction curve at the same time. The Levels effect is useful for basic image quality adjustment. This effect functions the same as the Levels adjustment in Photoshop and appears in the same way if monitor calibration is off. (See the Help file in the After Effects menu for more information.)
- Levels (Individual Controls) - The Levels (Individual Controls) effect functions like the Levels effect but allows you to adjust the individual color values for each channel. This allows you to add expressions to individual properties or keyframe one property independently of the others. To see each control individually, click the arrow next to the channel color to expand it.
- Posterize - The Posterize effect lets you specify the number of tonal levels (or brightness values) for each channel in an image. Posterize then maps pixels to the closest matching level. For example, choosing two tonal levels in an RGB image gives you two tones for red, two tones for green, and two tones for blue. Values range from 2 to 255. Although the results of this effect are most evident when you reduce the number of gray levels in a grayscale image, Posterize also produces interesting effects in color images. Use Level to adjust the number of tonal levels for each channel to which Posterize will map existing colors.
- Threshold - The Threshold effect lets you convert grayscale or color images to high-contrast, black-and-white images. Specify a certain level as a threshold; all pixels lighter than the threshold are converted to white and all pixels darker to black.
