color 1.5 help!

Hey!

Trying to grade a project in color 1.5. Watched a few tutorials and read the manual and from what I understand, a "corrections" tab should automatically appear below timeline when a correction is made in "primary in". This is not happening for me. Am I getting something wrong? Thought once you create some "corrections" you can then group them into "grade" which can be saved as a set of corrections to be applied to multiple clips... Or am I wrong?! Please help!

Color, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Try resizing the timeline track. I find that the grade indicators are hidden below the track...behind the workspace windows.

You might consider getting this book

I found it very useful before diving in to color to do a correct on a feature doc.

Thanks Shane. The grades aren't the problem, I'm able to create other grades besides one that comes up when I open Color 1.5 (so-grade 2,3,4..) and have no problem seeing them. It is single corrections I can't seem to get! Every manual/tutorial I've looked at, shows they automatically appear whenever a correction is made in any of the tabs (primary in/out, colour Fx, secondary etc) However when I make a correction, it doesn't create a track for it under timeline and it should! Just don't get why this is happening..
