  Color Curves

  Posted by Justin L. on February 2, 2011 at 6:09 am

  Heyoo!

  Anyone wanna share their color curves knowledge?

  I currently know only one technique, and that is making the curves look like an “S”. It crushes the blacks and it also brightens the picture up. A contrasty look and somewhat a filmic look.

  Anyone knows any other technique or styles that I can do with curves? I haven’t played around with the Channel: RGB yet cause i dont know what those do. Anyone use those? If yes, what does it do and how would it enhance your video.

  Thanks in advance everyone!

  I tend to apply the ‘S’ rule, and also rely on making sure that any adjustments I make appear visually appealing and at least look right.

  If you are interested to learn more about the use of CURVES and of color correction in general, I can advise you the following book from Alexis van Hurkman:
