This panel allows for detailed control of how **Canon RAW** media is decoded, processed, and exported, giving you flexibility over color management, resolution, and creative adjustments.

***

**Color & Decode Settings**

* **Decode Quality**\
  Adjusts the rendering and playback quality of Canon RAW files.\
  Higher settings improve image quality but may reduce playback performance.
* **Color Primaries**\
  Sets the chromaticity coordinates used during image processing.
* **Color Gamma**\
  Defines the gamma curve applied to the decoded image.

  Lets you tag or convert the output video to **Full Range** or **Video Range**:
  * **Full Range (Label)** – Default; tags the image as Full Range
  * **Full Range (Convert)** – Converts from Video to Full Range

    > *Useful if a 3D LUT transforms the image to Video Range but you want Full Range output*
