thats what the luminance curves are for …you can specify what part of the so called hilite or miss you want to affect by just plotting points on the curve. as far as the overlap…thats the whole point in having 3 controls..when you push the miss up you can drag the whites down a hair to compensate…..this is how color correction has worked for decades…..so plat with the curves…especially the luma curve and you’ll soon see that you can affect any part of the image you want…simple! and flexible!

first of all i never said to anyone “abandon you old ways” all i’m implying is that very soon there will be viable new ways to work and we all have to open to the idea that it will involve a change in mindset. FCPX is one the things that is challenging us to think about what we do. using an iPad as a tool is another. remember when the first version of final cut was in its infancy. no one wanted to abandon avid right away but over time it proved itself to be a viable option. i’m absolutely certain that within the next 2 generations of iPad we will be doing what we used to do on our macbook pros just 2 years ago. if you look at how tech evolves, anyone can see that the new way of working won’t be from an edit suite with a huge tower and a bunch of hard drives cloud storage is the new hard disk and iPads will be the new interface, replacing mouse and keyboard and maybe evn one of your main monitors. remember that my original rant here was how cool it is being able to control an external machine from an iPad using splash top…how it devolved into all this bitchiness blows me away. i must have hit a raw nerve with some very insecure individuals who feel their livelihood is under attack. well guess what? it probably will be very soon so just be open minded enough to accept the change and embrace the new technology thats coming. forget about your old way of working and get ready to discard that old edit suite…..there is absolutely nothing wrong with the current version of final cut studio but too many people feel that apple is letting them down and are looking for something that is the same as what they already have…..this makes no sense to me…why leave something that works for something exactly the same. FCPX may not be ready for the big boys yet but i really believe its time to start thinking of new ways to work and not just looking for a replacement for something that doesn’t really do anything different than what is already available. the technology that allows iMovie on an iPad to work didn’t even exist a few years ago and now it does what a state of the art laptop did just 6 years ago……why am i the only one who can see this….

thanks for the pointers but i just type as i’m thinking and often don’t take a moment to reread what I’ve typed….it’s not an english essay for shit sakes…..besides all my friends write in sms shorthand now and i can barely read their messages on the phone so at least i use real words `( most of the time`)…..ramblings of a mad man i guess….but i do like stirring the pot to the point of boiling…sometimes just to get people thinking even if its thinking about what an ass i can be..who cares as long as their minds are functioning!

and don’t apologize…just be yourself because what you say comes form the heart and then out of the mouth…..some of these guys here speak from their ass! i’m also older and should be able to say what i want without being dumped on!

yes yes yes…you sound more like me everyday…screw those soft headed dummies who can’t lighten up!
finally another intelligent person on this forum! -
i think you are funny…not politically correct but neither am i and i know what you mean. it’s so easy to offend people here because they are all so serious! maybe they could all lobby to have porky pigs stuttering stopped because it makes fun of people with speech impede-ped- pedi problems….hahaha

i had no idea so many people feel so threatened by my ramblings….judging by the reactions this thread has received there must be a lot of insecure people out there who are either afraid of change or are so close minded they can’t imagine a time in the future where we would all be working differently. my original post was about how amazing it is using splash top to remotely control their main machine and its software. i logically thought that this is going to open up the possibility of new ways of working, and i still believe that in the not too distant future i will be sitting in my lounge with my iPod 6 controlling my color application (davinci 10.5 perhaps?) from a server (cloud!) which holds all the clips being streamed to my ultra hd calibrated 80 inch panel. i really can see this coming and so i concluded that when this happens we will no longer need big tower machines and fancy edit suites and a paradigm shift will once again occur in our industry. instead i got dragged across the floor by people telling me to get my head out the clouds (funny there is that cloud thingy again) and get back to reality. so i am sorry i ever tried to make people look at alternative ways of working and to all those “old farts” out there who don’t like change (the same ones that aren’t even willing to give fcpx a chance and instead cross grade to avid because it feels closer to the old way of working) i just have to say good luck…the new young guns are on your coat tails and are gonna leave you in the dust so you better be ready!

i wasn’t talking initially about grading on the iPad…just using it as a remote control for the software…thats what splash top does. but one thing led to another on this discussion and i realized that in the not too distant future i could be sitting at home in front of my 80″ ultra hd display using an iPad to grade clips that are stored on the cloud..the iPad would be a remote link to the master software that resides on a server so you would just have to log on. the video for the job would also not have to be at the office but stored somewhere else making the idea of a truly desktop and office free environment a reality. somehow it turned into a insult hurling match because i think certain “older” people are threatened by this new way to work. i was just following a train of thought and must have opened some wounds because i couldn’t believe the reaction i got from this thread.
