I want to Learn Color Correction

[Jamaine]

Users,

I want to learn how to do Color Correction professionally. So am looking for books and tutorials that would take me from the beginner stages to the advanced stages.

• What is the purpose for the different tools & terminologies and stuff like that.

Any help give would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Jamaine

Easy! Just use RGB curves. A black should have equal amounts of RGB like 5,5,5.
If you have a value of like 10,5,5 pull a little red out in the red curve.
Same with whites. Say you measure a value 240, 220, 240. Go to the green curve and add a little green.



Really nothing to it.
