  • Tonal & color correction (lights, midtones and shadows)

    Posted by Polina Korneeva on June 14, 2020 at 7:08 pm

    Hello everyone! I often use Photoshop and it has a handy feature called ‘Luminosity Masks’ where you select your layer and add, substract or instersect the selection, thus making a bunch of lights, midtone and shadows layers. They all appear in your Channels panel, and by making masks around them it’s easy to
    adjust the brightness, the color etc. of individual parts on an image.
    Is there’s anything like that in AE?
    I have a photo where I want to adjust the tone and the color of the someone’s eyes, hair and face, but it takes too long to draw masks around them. Is there an effect or plugin that makes it easier?
    Thanks in advance ?

    I suppose the Luma key would be the easiest 1 step method for you. It has key out brighter or darker with a slider for finer controls
