    I have a shot that I need to color correct from blue/green to yellow/red. It involves fire so the warm colors get hot and when the flicker dies down it’s cool blue/green. Correcting from yellow/red to blue/green is fairly easy but I just can’t get it to go the other way. Ideas?

    Thanks!

    I would try adding an adjustement layer. To this I would add a Cyan (maybe a little more blue) tint effect. Then set this adjustement layer to overlay, or maybe add (depends on the luminance intensity of the shot). Use a levels filter on the original shot if the shot gets dark, and use the opacity of the adjustement layer along with the amount to tint of the filter to control the amount of tint.

    The advantage with using this method rather than applying the tint directly to the file is that you can better control what is affected.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks all for your replies. Just got into work and I’m going to look at your solutions now. Also, I will look into posting the frames later in the day. Chris, if you’d like I could email you jpegs to look at.
