Best color correction method?

I'm dealing with a particularly problematic indoor shoot of a wedding that as usual looked perfect on the camera's monitor, but not so great when viewed on the big screen.
When I did color correction in Edius and Vegas some time ago, I would find an area as close as 50% gray as possible and click there with the eyedropper, then the same for whites and then blacks. The difference is that under those two programs, when I clicked on grays and whites, the area I had clicked on would turn completely gray or completely white, but in Premiere CS6 it makes a small change towards white, but not to the point where the area is white, in other words, not as if I would have done white balance on site (which in this case wasn't possible because of time and also it the sunlight was coming in through the windows, but clouds kept passing by and changing color temperature all the time).
So I'm wondering if there is a good tutorial somewhere on the best way to do color correction. I don't mean just any video that some guy posts on YouTube, I mean a tutorial from a professional who really knows.

It sure is annoying that there just isn't any information available out there, isn't it?
I remember when it was a LOT harder to find things. Of course, I remember when I could read my email line by line as it downloaded at 300 baud from Compuserve too. But that's another issue.
When I started with Premiere in 2002, a few of use put together some little tutorials and used tiny little frame sizes to save bandwidth and storage space. Then I produced the Premiere Pro 1.5 tutorials for Lynda.com. God bless Lynda. That money has been coming in every month since late 2004. It isn't much any more, but it is still enough for a decent steak dinner most months. Of course, quite often I just give $25 of it back to her to take some classes for a month. Tim Kolb did some for Class-On-Demand and there were a few others.
Nowadays, tutorials are full screen, HD, and YouTube or Vimeo host them for free. What a tremendous difference. I still love lynda.com because the tutorials are really well done and worth every penny, and the audio is clean - no pops or clicks or echo, but many of the free tutorials out there are really high quality as well. Take the Creative Cow tutorials, for example.
Life is good. We shoot in HD, edit with a PC that is so much faster that we seldom have to wait for a render, and all of the information in the world is at our fingertips. What a great time to be alive!

  • How to best color correct image

    Hi,
    I earlier asked a question whereas I was having problems with color consistency from PS to ID. After resolving that I've run into another issue:
    In trying to figure out a way to put an image in ID in a specific set of red cmyk numbers. I've come up with two solutions, but each has a set of problems. Both are CMYK.
    The image on the left is a flattened black and red image (halftone) tif from Photoshop (the filter used flattens it). IT looks pretty god but If I try to adjust it with the correct red numbers, the black isn't neutral and gets a color cast, or I'm afraid it will in the printing process.
    The one on the right is a black and transparent tif from Photoshop that has been place over a red background (already in ID). Why does this 2nd one appear to be greyed?
    (I think I need to learn to fine-tune the color correction on the left one, but not sure which controls to use).
    Thoughts?
    No sooner did I post this, I read about someone else talking earlier about using the Multiply effect ( I didn't realize you could do this in ID), I tried it  and got a more integrated image which is what I wanted. Neat. Now, are there any printing repercussions during the printing process with this effect that I need to worry about, or WYSIWYG? ( I still need to tweak the contrast I know, but at least the red is right.)

    I just wrote a huge, even more convoluted post trying to answer your questions, which I'll save for later because it may be moot. I'm thinking aloud here to try to clarify:
    We'er talking about 2 issues here, the greyness of the blacks and how they look on the surface and the color cast that may occur, is that right?
    Let me say that I initially used a 3rd party filter called "Ghost" (can only be used on RGB images). I use it on B&W images as well as color. That takes out all white information and leaves all transparency in various densities. Only a solid black has no transparency. Then I converted to Robin's SWOP Heavy. She is using black & white photos, not transparent images.
    Then came along your process.
    I took those images that were over cream (in Robin's workflow...I didn't see anything wrong with these images intially), then put them over red and sure enough got that greyed-out look, which is only noticable over red, but if I use them may show up in print that way, which leads me to believe I need to use your process, as the quality of the blacks needs to be consistant.
    Left is Robin's profile, right side is with "Multiply" applied. Which leads me to believe that I need to re-do all my images as per your ideas. I thought black would be black. Guess not.  I'm not sure if the end result of using your process is the same as using multiply or not but it looks the same and is consistant.
    All that being said, what again should be my images profiles and ID file be?
    this is what they are, ..and I thought they were Blurb's but I screwed something up there too...
    Images..don't remember If I need to convert!!? I think so then what's the point? UGH:

  • Color correction questions

    I have a few questions about the color correction tools in Premiere CS4.
    1. Suppose that the colors in my shot are basically correct, but the blacks have a tint to them.  Which is the best color correction filter to use to correct for this?
    2. Do any of the color correction filters desaturate secondary colors?  I have a shot that would probably look fine if I could just desaturate the yellows.
    I know that this can be done in Photoshop.
    3. Is there a good technique in Premiere for matching colors between two scenes or cameras?  I know Avid's color correction has a specific setting for this.
    Thanks in adance!
    J. D.

    1) tint in black probably means white balance was off a bit ( not matched to your light source).
    Can try to correct WB overall and get rid of black tint ( use eye dropper and choose the black area that's supposed to be black and make it black...see what happens to the rest of your image colors )
    2) maybe broadcast colors...which has some tendency to imitate "selective color" in photoshop, as you adjust stuff ...
    3) no ...except maybe ( again ) broadcast colors ...  but probably you have to do by eye or LUT...but basically no
    I'm kinda new at this so dont take my word as gospel...someone else may have cool ideas ( they usually do )

  • Over-exposed / Color Correction / what 's the best method?

    I have some overexposed footage. White tee shirts, skin tones going white on highlights... (uuuhhh)
    To make it more difficult, this is only on one side of the image. The light coming from a window that is on the side, out of the frame.
    I have been reading about color correction. I know it's impossible to get anything from highlights that are totally white... but still, I really need to save my footage.
    I've been using the 3 way color corrector, and with great results. It's a powerfull tool. But still, sometimes the skin doesn't doesn't look good. White tee shirst remain white or can go to grey, that's ok, but skin tones are really not good looking...
    Is there any "trick" or method I could use to make it better? Is the 3 way color corrector the only way to go? Should I use another tool?
    I've heard about cloning the images, expose for the hightlights, put this like a "layer" on top of the original. Is this better than the 3 way color corrector?
    Any another method?
    Thanks a lot...

  • Best way to go from Final Cut to DVD preserving Color Corrections

    What is the best way to take my video project from Final Cut and burn it on a DVD (using DVD Studio), I need to preserve the color corrections I have made (used an external video monitor)? Also my camera shoots at black level IRE 0 and I have edited it that way, but as we all know NTSC TVs use IRE 7.5 is there anyway DVD Studio or FCP can convert the IRE so it matches?

    from FC; export to compressor
    In compressor, choose appropriate preset (i.e. best quality, >90 minutes, 16x9)
    encode the sound as dolby 2 (if you choose "all" you'll get an extra aif file)
    take the 2 files (video and audio) into dvd studio to encode.
    Not sure about your IRE 7.5 question, I always assumed it was automatically converted but now you have me thinking...

  • Best conditions for Color Correcting

    Hi
    If I'm color correcting at home, what are the best conditions to have in my room?
    Probably not near a window, daylight, even without direct sunlight seems to change things. Maybe not even direct lighting from lights.
    Any tips, suggestions?

  • What's the best decklink usage apply for color correction

    Hi Guys,
    recently i jsut noticed that matrox supplied a very good color corrcetion for Adobe, im using blackmagic hd extreme 2 now, seems it doenst grade color very well compare with matrox, i wonder, any decklink u guys using that grade color very well? Im newbie in color no matter in FCP nor COLOR. Thanks for help guys

    What is this footage that you are trying to color? The hardware used really doesn't matter in this case, all they are doing it outputting a signal to your monitor. How that footage looks and how far you can push it isn't dependant on the cards...it is dependent on the footage you have to work with.
    I know your English might be poor, so I hope you don't get lost.
    Read this first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling
    Now, if you have 4:4:4 footage, you can push it very far. Film, HDCAM SR, Viper...all sorts of high end HD can have this sampling. However, a more common high end format is 4:2:2, like DVCPRO HD, HDCAM SR, D5. If you shot HDV...HD on those miniDV tapes, then your chroma sampling is 4:2:0. You are missing information COMPLETELY. So HDV cannot be pushed very far when color correcting. DV is 4:1:1, so it too cannot be pushed very far. If you shot on those formats, there is only so much you can do.

  • What color correction setting is best

    I just bought the Canon Pixma IP4300. I'm using a lot of ink trying to figure this out, so I thought I'd ask in case there was a default. In Advanced>Color Options>Color Correction, the choices are;
    1) Driver matching
    2) ColorSync
    3) None
    Is one of those generally better to use
    Also, is it generally better to print from Photoshop(Elements 4) vs iPhoto or Preview?

    choosing colorsync over adobe color management is not a popular choice
    The only place I chose ColorSync is in OS X print dialog/color options/color correction. I have 3 options to choose; Driver matching, ColorSync, None. Which of the other 2 would I choose if I wanted to maintain Adobe Color Management? Also by Adobe Color Management, I assume what you mean are the adjustments I made in PSE. Is that right.
    Have you tried using printer color management
    Do you mean not using PS at all & just using the Color Options from the OS X print Dialog. If that's what you mean, I don't like using that because the adjustments are made on a generic OS X provided picture. You can't tell what the adjustments are doing to your photo until you choose Preview. If you don't like what you see, canceling causes you to start from the beginning.
    keeping an sRGB image flow if that's what your originals are?
    Most of the photos from my Canon SD 700IS are RGB. The others are scanned older photos. I'm embarrassed to say I'm not familiar with an sRGB image work flow
    Barbara, To tell you the truth, if I could get 2 things down to a general rule of thumb it would be helpful. 1) In PSE/Print/Color Management, what to save the printer profile to (Same as source?) & 2) In OS X print dialog/color correction, what to save it as, out of my 3 options.
    Feel free to tell me when you've run out of answers to all my questions, as I have many!

  • Color Correcting MOV file

    Hello,  I have a problem with importing FCP generated XML file into Adobe Premiere Pro, so I can later transfer it to Adobe After Effects for color correcting.  So I'm thinking to color correct a high quality MOV file that I can export from Final Cut.  Does that make any sense?  I'd like to keep highest quality possible for submitting my film to film festivals, DVD etc.
    Would such a method adversely affect the quality of the image?  What would be the best way to color correct a file?
    Also, as a side question, does Color Finesse come built-in into After Effects or one has to purchase it separately.  For someone, who is an amateur in color correcting does it make a big difference whether one color correct in After Effects or Color Finesse?
    Many thanks

    If you export a losslessly encoded movie from Final Cut Pro, then you won't lose any quality by moving your movie back and forth as a QuickTime movie. People often use the Animation codec or the PNG codec in a QuickTime container for lossless encoding of movies for such transfers. The files are big, though, so don't expect to use such files for distribution or realtime playback.
    Yes, Color Finesse is included with the full version of After Effects (not with the free trial version, though). See "Color correction and adjustment".

  • Color Correction for movie theaters

    I am currently editing a commercial that will be played in a couple of local movie theaters before the movie previews. I am in no way a professional and I'm kind of a Color newbie. I am working on a Mid 2009 15" MacBook Pro with HDV 1080i60 footage. The MBP's display is great and I'm happy with what I've done with my footage but I'm sure the color will look different in the theaters. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on how to color my footage differently for theaters.
    I have referenced my color corrected footage on my 22" Dynex TV and it definitely looks a little darker and "warmer", so I'm a little afraid of giving my clips too much of a warm tone (which is the tone I'm going for). I'm also thinking about connecting to a projector to get another reference there.
    Let me know what you guys think.
    THANKS!
    P.S. I have a technical contact number from the theater that I can call if it might help to ask them about it.

    Are you delivering a video tape format like HDCAM SR/D5, supplying a QT file or printing back to film.
    If its either of the first two methods the main thing is to preview your edit on a properly calibrated (the correct color space and gamma curve etc) monitor or preferably a projector in a suitable grading environment. If it looks good there then it should be ok to go - if the theatre has a properly calibrated set up as well.
    As mentioned already you also may want to take into account the environment its likely to be screened in e.g brightness etc and adjust the grade accordingly, as peoples eyes will interpret the visual material differently under different conditions. Though in reality obviously you cant take into account every circumstance it may be shown in - the best thing to do is make sure it looks correct under optimal conditions using correctly calibrated gear.
    If you are printing back to film - take care. Going to a film out out is an extremely sensitive and complicated process.
    For a start you should really know what stock you are printing back to? You should find this out and obtain a LUT (look Up table) that will emulate this stock on your grading monitor so you know exactly what the final product will look like.
    What process are you using to go to film?
    I would contact a local post house and ask to speak to their Digital Intermediate specialist.
    Good luck

  • Color correction dilemma-puzzled

    Hi
    I have FCP3 on a G4 733 Apple. I shot some footage with a Panasonic 100A. I neglected to keep the white balance Auto function off or set it to preset mode. The colors shifted back in forth from warm to cooler. I attempted to correct this with the 3 way and 2 way color corrector filters. I tried the tint filter. It seems to get closer to matching the colors than the color corrector. My problem is the colors on the tape cross-faded into each other. It wasn't a straight cut. I wanted to use the pointer and take a sample from the clip that had the colors I wanted to use and copy it to a key frame or another clip so that I may maintain color continuity. If you have a solution it will be appreciated. Thanks.
    Kim

    did you get this figured out? this a huge problem, correcting for gradual color temp changes but it can be fixed. the ATW on the panasonic is great and i confess, i use it a lot but i also have the ATW Lock feature mapped to the user 2 button so once the auto white gets to where i want it, i can lock it. it's no substitute for manual white/black balancing, however.
    there two ways to approach this and various methods for both ways. which ever way you choose, i believe it's best to isolate the color temp changes by placing edits points before the color changes and after it finishes.
    one way is to match the shot you think looks best and the three way color corrector is the only tool you need for this job. find the scene you like best, apply the three way to everything else. use the match hue function to bring those other shots to match your main shot. you may want to futz a bit with some of the other levels as the match hue, while doing a decent job, isn't perfect. copy the three way filter from one of your blue shots to the clips you made that isolated the color temp change. apply it. you'll need to keyframe the levels to match the color change accordingly. painstaking but doable.
    the other method is to take all the clips to fcp's version of white and i think i would do this. make a sequence of only your clips you want to color correct. isolate the color temp change again. apply the three way to everything. use the auto white function to change everything, except for the clips containing the color temp change. on those clips you will layer a copy of the three way filter from the previous clip and a copy from the following clip. if you keyframe each filter appropriately, you won't see a color change. once you have this sequence tweaked to the where everything looks consistent which is the goal of this method, export a new self-contained quicktime clip and use that instead of your original clips. apply color enhancement as wanted. very painstaking but also doable. you won't have the original timecode to use but if the edit isn't completed, not a big deal.
    it's all painstaking. the least amount of work is the captain's original mention of making it all black and white! one good thing though, you'll remember this and it won't happen again.

  • Batch Color Correction Change

    What is the best method for changing a whole roll of photos that need color correction? I have iPhoto 6 and Photoshop CS. Would there be a way to make those changes in Photoshop, and than reimport those changes back into iPhoto to replace the noncorrected photos? Im not very effcient at photoshop so step by step would help the best. Or other suggestons or applications that will do the trick quickly and easily are welcome too...
    Thanks In Advance,
    Hintzer

    Hintzer:
    You can batch change 4 photos at a time in iPhoto with PSC2 and not have to reimport. I can't help you with batch processing with PSC2 as I've never done it. But if you work out a workflow you can open 4 photos at a time using PS as the preferred editor in iPhoto.
    Outside of iPhoto you could do as many as you'd want with PS. If you do batch correct the original files in iPhoto's Originals sub folders and then replace them with the corrected version you'll have to do a library rebuild and rebuild the thumbnails in order to see the changes reflected in the thumbnails. The changes will show in the full sized image in iPhoto without the rebuild.

  • Color correction matte

    We are trying to color correct an interview. The subject is color corrected correctly but the background needs a different color correction setting. We have tried to key frame the subject with an 8 point garbage matte but we are not happy with the results. The subject doesn't move a great deal but we're finding it difficult to adjust the matte without creating a halo. We have set the feathering control at 30 and the choke at -21 and the smooth at 50. We've tried two mattes. We've tried a lot of things and are now appealing to the world at large for some guidance. Are there tools other than the garbage matte to address this issue? Is there an approach to the problem that we're not getting? The final program will be projected in a theater so the results have to be pretty close to perfect. Thanks.

    I tend to use the 'limit effect' inside the 3way cc. You will create a matte based on color, luminance, and sat levels. I tend to build mattes using the foreground skintones and then inverting that matte to give myself control over the background. Skintones (faces) tend to manipulate easier than the various colors of the bkgrd in most cases. Occasionally I grab a good matte from the bkgrd meaning no invert needed. You will need to play with the softening and expanding of the matte from the limit effect area of the cc.
    Best part about this method: the matte tracks automatically w/o keyframes! (also tends to be a tighter matte). If this doesn't work, then your off to tracking mattes and/or rotoscoping a matte. Something tells me it's not worth it. Good luck.
