Colorista Issue…..blowing out detail in highlights

[Arniepix] “You could also lower the highlights with the ProcAmp filter instead of the 3 Way CC. It’s a little simpler, and you won’t have to fiddle with the luma selection.”

Your right, that worked perfect, thanks Arnie

I prefer small, unmarked bills. Anything but US dollars right now! 😉

The Proc Amp is probably one of the most over looked & least appreciated filters that comes with FCP. I use it all the time in conjunction with the 3-way CC (& Nattress film effects, also) to set the shadows when I start & to legalize the highlights when I’m done.
