SpeedGrade provides you a Snapshot view that lets you quickly capture and save still images of clips. You can then use these images as reference, or compare to other clips using a split screen.
You can also import TGA images from other applications such as Adobe Photoshop to use as a reference for color corrections and grading. For more information, see Matching a Photoshop grade.
The Snapshot Browser provides an easy way to store and view images that you save. You can later reference and access these images for your color-grading work.
