thanks for the advice guys. I have one more question.

This is what it looks like now…

is there anyway to lessen that over-exposure on her face?

I’ve tried just applying a basic brightness/contrast filter from FCP but it darkens the whole picture and doesn’t look good. I’ve also tried a plugin called “Captains Blowout Fixer” and haven’t had a ton of success with it so far.

Looking for some help.

Thanks

thanks for your help everyone. the 3-way color corrector did a nice job. it’s actually rendering right now. even though it seems fairly simple, color correcting is fairly new to me, so i appreciate the advice.

both cameras were on auto, which “seemed” fine at the time (it was hard to tell on the LCD in the bright sun. I’ve since gotten an eyepiece which I’ll never shoot outdoors without again). i think the difference though was the lenses. the secondary shot, which appears fine, was shot on a cheap $200 canon zoom lens. while the “main” shot, the one that’s too warm, was shot on a $1000 Zeiss lens, and i’m thinking that because the lens is way “nicer” that it over compensated for colors, because in normal lite situations the colors it produces are insane.

thanks a lot.
