[Tig] FC Color query

[Alexis Hurkman]

Nope, you're not doing anything wrong. In Color, you cannot limit the  
effect of any of the Secondary room curves (Hue, Sat, or Lum) with  
either vignettes or HSL qualifiers. This is not a bug, simply a  
current limitation in the software.

With regards to defocusing, there is no effect or node (in the Color  
FX room) that simulates optical lens defocusing. The closest  
analogous effect that's available is to use the generic Blur node in  
the Color FX room in conjunction with an Alpha Blend node and one or  
more combined Vignette nodes (or HSL key node) to selectively blur  
parts of an image based on a grayscale matte.

There is no blur function in the Secondaries room (though that would  
be nice someday), and custom user shapes are only available to the  
Secondaries room, not in the Color FX room (that would be nice  
someday too).
