Color Correction Video Tutorial

fix it in Color Finesse - or adapt it to Color

image

This week I balance and fix a dark image in Synthetic Aperture’s Color Finesse color correction application, but if you are using Apple Color, you can adapt this easily to Color by using the Master Gain, Gamma and Pedestal and the Advanced Tabs Red, Green and Blue gain, gamma and pedestal controls. You could also do this correction using Curves and guide your corrections using eyedroppering instead of using an RGB Parade waveform monitor if you wanted.

The image that I used in the example is on the CD from my first color correction book, co-authored with Jaime Fowler, “Color Correction for Digital Video.” That book is about to be released in an almost completely re-written revised edition called “Color Correction for Video.” This image is also on the DVD for that book.

Next week we’ll get into some more advanced techniques in Color, so make sure to subscribe to the RSS feed for this series.
