-Blue Banana\protect\footnote{credit to Monty Montgomery programmer} is an \textit{HSL Qualifier} \index{HSL Qualifier} (HSL= hue, saturation, lightness), one of the basic tools of any grading software that are based on circumscribing a zone of the frame by extracting a chromatic key and producing a \textit{matte} in the alpha channel (Secondary Color Correction). Blue Banana differs not by creating a real matte, but by creating a \textit{selection mask} exclusively for use within the plugin. The BlueBanana plugin has a couple of useful purposes. It can be used for color transformation or remapping -- by isolating a specific color and then performing color change/correction on only that color (or color ranges). Another useful purpose is for chroma-key filtering, using multiple BlueBanana plugins on the same track. Also, it can be used in conjunction with the mask operation of the Compositor. Usage of BlueBanana may seem complicated at first, but it is necessarily so in order to get enough control to produce the desired effect simply and quickly. Just changing a single color is actually quite easy. BlueBanana is keyframable (figure~\ref{fig:bluebanana}).
