When you use the color wheels or color board, do you ever feel that you need more color from a washed out image that you can’t seem to achieve without affecting the whole image?
This video will open your eyes to a workflow that will boost individual colors much more than the wheels or board can do while keeping the rest of the image balanced.
As a bit of background, Final Cut Pro separates colors into three categories. Highlights, Mid Tones and Shadows. Life would be easy if these separations had defined boundaries.
But as with most in life, things are not - to coin a phrase - always “Black or White”. When you adjust exposure, saturation or color in any one of the three categories, you also change some of the overlapping areas at the boundary of each category. This means when you change the mid tones you change some of both the highlights and the shadows.
I show you how this affects color adjustments with the color wheels - the same applies to the color board. Then I’ll show you how to pick a narrow range of color so that the overlap is reduced. The hue and saturation curves give you yet another option for color correcting your clips in Final Cut Pro.
