I am learning a lot about how to 'read' and apply the color correction, curves and scopes in Vegas 4, and their closely interrelated nature, by reading the analogous literature on the near-identical features in Avid DV Express, including a recent article by an Avid consultant. Take a look at a brief discussion on the Avid site. For those interested, there's an excellent book reference at the end of the article, available from Amazon for about $35. Here's the link:

P.S. The book is "Video Color Correction for the Desktop" by Steve Hullfish and Jamie Fowler.
