[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).
