The brightnesscontrast filter is not only the most used plugin in a nonlinear editing system its probably the most unnecessary. Basics of color grading Now lets examine the image again but this time the brightnesscontrast effect is applied increasing the brightness factor slightly.BrightnessContrastIncreasedBrightness See how different shades of black blend together And what about the whites You lose the much touted dynamic range due to brightness and contrast effects. So if you want to lighten or darken your shots never use this. Its much better to use a simple Fast Color Corrector in Premiere or a threeway color corrector in Final Cut Pro.
As a general rule use any color correction effect that allows you to Cuba Email List adjust the input level instead of brightness or contrast. Check out the image below.

In fact the output level must raise the desired input level to make it . In other words it doesnt matter how much dynamic range an image contains if the average monitor or TV cant display it properly. Thus the output level maximizes the dynamic range for this standard. Basics of color grading Now lets move on to color balance. Everything you see on a monitor or TV is made up of red green blue and everything in between like cyan pink etc.. This is a very simple concept to understand. So when youre in the process of evaluating colors first red blue etc. make sure it is as evenly balanced as possible.
