Now I am just going to undo that by hitting Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac, because I do want to keep that piece of footage for now. And the one final thing I want to show you is a new feature inside After Effects 7. if you come up to the fly out menu on the upper right hand side here of the project window, we can go down and choose the project settings and a new option down here is the ability to use a working color space.

Now if you are familiar with most of the CS2 application such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Goline they all work with color spaces that make sure the images and the color dept with them looks the same regardless which application they have been placed into. Well the video applications have never really had this option available, but now inside of After Effects, you can pull up a working color space here and obviously it is going to be RGB because we are working inside red, green, blue color space for video output. And you can choose an RGB color space that maybe similar to the one that you are using inside of Photoshop or Illustrator, and again it make sure that the color elements you use from those programs will look exactly the same when you bring over in to After Effects.

So if that is something you wish to use, by all means do so. I just wanted to point out that that is where you now find it inside the projects settings for After Effects 7. Now I am just going to hit cancel on that because I am not making any changes there. I will come back up here and just collapse the Photoshop files folder and once again I am going to reset our work space by going up to the window menu, go down to work space, reset standard down here at the bottom and discard the changes. And once you are at it you might want to go ahead and save the project we have been working on simply by going to the file menu and choosing save, or obviously control S or command S on the Mac, because we have made changes to the organization here of the project we know. And we are now ready to continue with the next lesson.
