1 April 2010 - 23:15#23: Color Correction Basics II – Manipulating Contrast

Show/Hide Embed Code

In this episode, we’ll manipuate the basic contrast of an image, setting the black and white levels and gamma.

We’ll do this in two different ways: First by using the Setup, Gain and Gamma controls, then by using curves.

If you really want to learn about color correction, I strongly recommend Steve Hullfish’s “The Art and Technique of Digital Color Correction”

(Disclaimer: If you buy the book from the link above, I’ll get a small kickback from Amazon.)

    Have to thank you for the Manipulating Contrast podcast. Very simple, but important. I applied your technique to my current video project and it improved significantly.
