  adjusting lights or darks without adj. the rest.

  I just watched some tutorials from a program called bibble.
  It is designed for efficient workflow for photographers using RAW format.

  One very nice feature was it’s quick ability to fix photographs with blown out highlights, or dark areas.
  It fixes dark areas without adjusting light areas and it darkens blown out shots without darkening the dark areas.

  How would you do this with Vegas?

  We remember there was a video program that did this but we think it was sold or abandoned.

  Thanks

  I personally use Color Curves to do these adjustments.
  The Color Correction in Sony Vegas DVD from VASST is an excellent resource for learning this – and much more!!

  If all else fails, consider using Photoshop CS3. The latest version of Photoshop actually permits opening up a video clip in Photoshop and applying any of Photoshop’s filters/adjustments to the entire clip in one fell swoop. The Shadows/Highlights adjustment is perfect for what you are asking about.
