    Film Wash Color Effects Vol. 2 is a set of presets for Apple Color, utilising the Color FX room to give your footage a great, fully-customisable graded look. The package includes 55 unique effects, split over three distinct categories: Tone Wash, XPro and Black & White Wash. As this product only uses the Color FX room, it keeps the rest of your grade completely unaffected.  Simply balance your clips as you would do normally, then add the rinse of Film Wash over the top. All the Washes remain customisable, making it a snap to dial in your perfect color grade.
