Adjust Color Filter and Masking

I am trying to create a flash transition like seen here
http://www.loewshotels.com/en/default.aspx
I was wondering how I would go about doing this? I am trying
to create a mask with having the filter for brightness and contrast
to create the same effect? Do you know how to go about doing this?
If I am in the wrong place will someone let me know where I
should go ask? That would be helpful thanks :)
Thanks

If I copy the original graphic with a gradient, color fill creates a solid colored object. If I change the blending mode of the new object on top to hue, I get a good result. I think I'll use this method from now on...

Adjustment Brush Settings and Masks performance slow + jittery

Are there any tweaks to solve these issues? Takes about 2 seconds to actuate. I know this doesn't seem slow, but when doing hundreds of images it sure puts a bottleneck in the workflow.
Graduated Filter performance not great but acceptable.

Is this the for the first local adjustment of an image, or only after there are a bunch of existing local adjustments?

Adjust color filter drives me insane

I have a bitmap with a complex shape (rounded corner) and grandient whose fill I would like to change. Problem is, I have never understood how FW calculates the Hue and Saturation levels. The color I want is H = 69, S = 161 and B = 120, or #57d524. When I put these numbers in, I get white. What's the point of having the option to designate the exact levels if all I get is white? Then I have to "eyeball" the color, which I don't want to do.
The ideal would be either 1) for the panel to work as advertised or 2) for there to be a "convert bitmap to shape" command, then I could set the gradient colors as I wanted. As it stands now, I have to create a shape approximating the bitmap, then change the blending mode to get the proper color (pain in the butt)...

Adjust Color Filter

Why can't it be adjusted with actionscript like the others?
If you can, how?!

No, but it seems to be the only way around..... can you give
me a simpler example of the colormatrixfilter that doesn't require
10 lines of useless code of making a new object?

"Gamma" slider in Preview's "Adjust Color" window now absent in 10.6. Why?

In Preview, if one chooses "Adjust Color" from the "Tools" menu, a small window pops up with various sliders allowing one to make minor adjustments to the jpeg -- contrast, sharpness, exposure, etc.
In previous versions of Preview that came with 10.4 etc., one of the sliders was called "Gamma," and I found it very useful. I'm no photographer nor a professional graphics person, so I couldn't even tell you the exact definition of what a "gamma adjustment" even is, but in my experience I found that it seemed to lighten the dark areas of the image without overly lightening the already-light areas. By fiddling with a combination of the "Contrast" slider and the "Gamma" slider, one could rescue a photo that was badly lit or unevenly exposed.
But in the new version of Preview that comes with my Snow Leopard 10.6.4, the "Gamma" slider has been removed entirely, replaced by the far-less-useful "Temperature" slider, which instead subtly adjusts the tint to appear warmer or colder (red/blue).
What happened to the "Gamma" adjuster? Is there any way to restore it, or customize the "Adjust Color" window?
What a bummer.
I really like Preview's "Adjust Color" sliders, and find them to be much more convenient for basic photo sprucing up than the more complicated controls in PhotoShop and other pro-level programs. I realize I can adjust the Gamma in these fancier programs, but I'd much rather have all the needed adjustment-controls altogether in the same program.
Any suggestions? I don't want to have to try to re-install an ancient version of Preview just for this one feature.

I did a Google search & found - http://earthlingsoft.net/ssp/blog/2009/08/macos_x6part2
"*Gamma: Apple (finally) changed the gamma value of their display calibration.* There goes the classic Mac look… well it’s not quite as (a) my MacBook’s screen is a crappy dithering **** anyway so I am in no position to notice anything and, more significant in a global sense, (b) the magic of colour management means that you shouldn’t see the difference caused by the gamma change on colour managed images. What remains are the UI elements and Apple seems to have done a reasonable job of making things look all right. Just some of my old icons seem to look a bit different now. In the long run I imagine this change may be beneficial for people who publish images on the web without knowing what they do. "

The Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

In this episode of The Complete Picture, discover the power of making selective adjustments like dodging and burning, color corrections and noise removal using the Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4. Note: although this video was recorded in Lightroom, the same techniques are available in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6.

Error Compiling when using RGB Color Corrector and Unsharp Mask

If I apply the RGB Color Corrector and and Unsharp mask to a clip within a sequence and try to render the sequence or a small portion of the work area I get the Error Compiling: Unknown error.
This is occurring within a project I have updated to Premiere CS6 from Premiere CS5.
I have tried creating a new sequence and importing the same clip and other clips. Anytime I try to use both the Unsharp Mask and RGB Color Corrector I am unable to render. I have tried this with Mercury Playback both in hardware and software modes with the same result.
Has anyone else seen something like this?

Okay, glad this occurs for others too and I am not experiencing something isolated. The issue here is this shouldn't be happening at all.
Premiere CS5 has no problem with this.
Yeah if I turn off one effect or the other no problem. Unfortunately it doesn't matter the order I place the effects in I get the same error regardless of which is placed first.
Nesting does work. If I create a sequence, apply one or the other to the clip in the sequence then embed the sequence in another sequence and apply the remaining filter to the sequence containing the clip then I can get my color correction and edge definition. But this is a work around.
There seems to a bug here since there were no issues when using RGB Color Corrector and Unsharp Mask simultaneously applied to one clip in CS5. I doubt there will be a fix for this anytime soon so it looks like I will have to use another method for color correcting or apply RGB color correction to clips already embedded in a sequence as I move forward into solely using CS6.
(How this can become an issue is that after applying effects and color correction to several clips within a sequence I like to render that entire sequence. Then this sequence is ebedded in another main sequence and I can add additional effects and transitions and overlays without killing the live playback speed and only have to render smaller amounts of content from additional tracks. It ends up saving a lot of time after the initial length of rendering.)
Thanks for the suggestions.

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask?

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask in the layer panel when creating shape layers with a shape tool? I'm just curious when locking or unlocking the solid color layer and its vector mask can make a difference.

I don't understand what you said and your shape layer looks different then mine using CS5.
When the chain is deselected, I can't do anything with the move tool on the shape layer. This is the only difference I can find. Making the solid color uniform or not doesn't change anything.
Your example shows that you moved the position of the solid color, how did you do that? I can create a solid color layer and change its uniform look by applying an effect like gradient but I can't move the solid color itself around. How is this possible?

Graduated filter and Adjustment brush always use "last used effect"

In my workfow I mostly use opposite effects in the Graduated filter and Adjustment brush.
Lightroom maintains "least used effect" even when changing tools.
Is it possible that each tool retains its last used effect?
In my workflow I mostly use opposite effects when using Adjustment brush en gradient filter. Changing the effects wastes a lot of time when editing hundreds of images.

I agree that it would be nice if the individual tools remembered their own last used preset.
Unfortunately LR does not work that way.

Color correction filter and keyframes

After lots of projects in FCE, I should know this!
I have a clip with a color correction filter and keyframes at either end of the clip.
Question: If I break the clip in two, am I correct that the color correction filter and keyframes are no longer shared by the two clips? Changes made to one clip's keyframes no longer effect the other clip's color correction settings?

That's correct.

Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting - levels like Photoshop Elements?

Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting -> levels like Photoshop Elements?

There isn't a "remove color cast" command per se but there are Levels and Curves adjustments so you can effectively remove/diminish colors yourself.

Adjusting color in part of an image in a photo.

Hi, just bought Photoshop CC and am stuck. I just received a photo of my uncle that was taken through the glass of the frame it was in. The right side of his face is lighter than the rest of his face. How do I adjust this color? You can also see some lightening of the lower right portion of his hat. Other issues have been corrected. Portion of photo attached. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I will give it a shot. Your help is greatly appreciated. Will let you know how it works.

Adjusting color in part of an image in a photo.
created by musarticus in Photoshop for Beginners - View the full discussionTry this: 1) Duplicate your layer (Command/Control + J)2) Add a mask to the new duplicate layer3) Select the mask and either paint the left side black with your brush tool, or use the gradient tool for a black-to-white gradient4) Change the blend mode on the duplicate layer to "Multiply"5) If you want to go darker, duplicate the layer a second time and adjust the opacity as desired.6) In the image below I also masked out the background and added an orange photo filter to warm up the right side of the face. I cranked the filter to better see it, but you can reduce it to taste.7) There are other things you could try like painting with your brush in "Color" mode to fine-tune skin tones, or use the dodge and burn tools, etc. https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-7149917-723260/Multiply.png If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7149917#7149917 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

Can I adjust color channels individually?

In photoshop, if I have a photograph and want to select the color green, I get out my magic wand and select the color green. I can control the amount of selection by adjusting the wand settings.
Can i do anything like that in FCPro?
If I have video footage of a woman wearing a white dress standing in a field of grass (but the grass is a little too brown because it's almost winter here in Texas) can I just adjust the green channel of the grass and make it more green without affecting the green in the dress and skin of the woman?
I've been playing around with the 3 way color filter but it adjust everything on the screen. I just want to adjust certain items.
Thanks!

Photoshop has much better selection tools than FCP. You'll want to layer your clip and then put a mask over what you do not want to color. apply the rgb balance (I think there are some other channel filters but I'm not remembering and can't look at the moment) and then tweak away on the green channel.
for a bit more control, apply the 3 way and then finagle the limiter to what you want.

Removing color casts, and correcting colors to match reference materials? any guides/tutorial/videos

I have been looking for tutorials showing how to use SpeedGrade. I am now comfortable with the UI enough to use it after watching these: http://www.youtube.com/user/AdobeTV/videos?query=speedgrade
I am looking for tutorials that show how to do a couple things, first I would like to be able to remove any color casts. In photoshop to do this you can use a curves layer and use the set white point color picker and click somplace that is supposed to be white. and in premier you could do something similar using the Fast Color Corrector. So basically I am looking for a way to target an area in a frame that should be grays, In Anime, the eyes generally will always be shades of gray, so that is what I would target usually when working with anime in photoshop/premiere. If anyone knows of a tutorial that shows how to do this type of color cast removal color correction in SpeedGrade could you please share a link.
Some of the older 80's and 90's anime on film, the film has aged and that is where the color cast came from. There is also a loss of color information across the board. For instance in the below picture. The sky is supposed to be more blue instead of teal/sea green.
Another thing is back in the 80s and 90s a lot of Anime worked from limited color palletes; something like maybe 16 colors total, so a lot of colors are used repeatedly. So even with only a limited amount of reference material I should be able to get the corrections close. (I dont have reference clips for every single episode, only a handful of scenes from a handful of episodes.)
I have some reference material showing approximately what the colors should be. So my next question is if anyone knows of any tutorials/guides/videos showing how to use SpeedGrade to color correct a clip so that the colors match up with the colors used in a reference clip
I was also wondering about auto correction based on a reference clip, although I am guessing this is still not possible.
When I watched the websiminar: http://seminars.adobeconnect.com/_a227210/p738pxm9zs0/ at about 43 minutes into it, a feature is shown that automatically adjust the color using a clip that contains a colorchart.
I was wondering if a tool like that could analyse a clip start to finish, to create a pallete of used colors, and then compare that to the colors used in another clip and correct them. (a feature like this would probably be more useful/accurate in anime than it would liveaction but who knows.)
Another UI related question:
I did have one question, the only place I see to access the colorwheels is in the looks tab, my video I am working on, just manages to fit at 100% in the monitor.
So I would prefer to hide or collapse the different looks(maybe even with a hotkey) so that I can access the color tools that it is covering, I attached a picture of what I am talking about. I know pressing "P" hides everything at the bottom, and figured maybe there is already a way to hide/minimize/collapse the look presets to access the tools behind them without shrinking down the size of the monitor preview.

There is a special grading filter called "Color match" which can assist in cross-referencing the black/white/gray levels from one playhead to another but it's not documented yet. The suggested way to set black/white/gray points in Sg is to adjust it visually, using the waveforms as a guide, but there's no chance of doing that for something as small as a character's eye. There's no "eyedropper" picker on the primary grading panel because Sg isn't a correcting tool, but a cinematic grading tool. 99% of the time the end result of an Sg grading session is a long way from what the camera pixels actually recorded.
If all you are doing is reversing a color cast then Speedgrade isn't the right tool to use - you should be working in Premiere Pro (with the Fast or 3-Way Color Correctors). If you're a Photoshop person the UI is much more recognizable, it'll handle all the native footage you can throw at it, and you get your B-G-W eyedroppers.
In Speedgrade CS6 you cannot hide the Presets panel in the Look or Mask tab. The UI is really designed for use in a two-monitor system (which all professional colorists will have), and/or with a hardware controller (which means you can keep the entire bottom panel hidden).
