What's the difference between Color "Correction" and Color "Timing"?

Hey,

I'm wondering what the difference is between "Color Correction" and Color "Timing"?

Is Correction correcting eg. White Balance, highlighs, Shadows, etc... and then Timing then defining a look for the film?

If relevant to DV, where can I learn more about Color Timing? Any good books/DVD's?

Thanks!
Derrick
 
Technically color correction is used to restore your color to a neutral palette. This happens when you do a white balance among other things.
Color timing refers to adjusting the aesthetic color in the post production process.
Note that color correction is also used frequently by some people to refer to post color timing.

Do a search for color since others have made suggestions in the past.
