ASC #23: Color Correction Basics II - Manipulating Contrast

In this episode, we'll manipuate the basic contrast of an image, setting the black and white levels and gamma.

We'll do this in two different ways: First by using the Setup, Gain and Gamma controls, then by using curves.

SHOW NOTES

If you really want to learn about color correction, I strongly recommend Steve Hullfish's "The Art and Technique of Digital Color Correction"
