Let's say you have a shot...First color correct is to re-white balance and get proper color...Then you want to give it a color tint...Is it better to use secondary color correction or overlay a color gradient and turn the opacity down? To me it seemed the ladder would be more natural, and you could control better by having more control with the opacity adjustment as well as the ability to take advantage of composite modes.
I suppose a 3rd option would be to use the secondary color correction only in the 2nd track above the original rather than use 2 filters so you could have control of opacity. Is there a more professional way to do it or are they all accepted methods? I've just been reading some color grading methods and came across the secondary color correction filter idea and it seems to be pretty popular.
