How can I make my color look Good settings?

If I adjust the colours on my film layer or using curves/satruation/color balance by using layers of the color of my coice and mixing, the colors look absolutely rubbish and false.

ILM can do it, why can't I?

It is not so much a matter of number of pixels, it's all about the depth of color and what type of information you have at first. It is a correct exposure. It is a very large format. It is the original of the lighting. You can do a lot with the color adjustment, but adjustment of the colors really good often involves masking certain colors, many layers overlay and really powerful tools in the hands of someone who understands exactly what they need to do the blue so that it is not a fault in the green. You can do amazing things in AE. Tools like Colorista make it easier. Tools like speed Grade make easier and faster, but still have to learn how and what correct color.

In all of this discussion, I saw examples of what you're trying to achieve, of the original film, or what you're trying to imitate. Screenshots help us steer you in the right direction.

I would move to red giant or Vimeo and look at some of the tricks of Stu on Colorista. I would check out books and recommended so far discussions. I've been in this business of the past four decades, and if the budget I have someone else to do my color correction, because I know I'm not the best at home, and whenever I'm sitting in a session of ranking with a colorist I learn something new. The color is an important part of the process and it takes a long time to become an expert.

  • How can I make the work/look like a Thunderbird 2 Thunderbird?

    I used Netscape/Mozilla/Thunderbird Mail since the middle / end of the 1990s and was disappointed by the changes after Thunderbird 2, so I went years of Claws Mail, but it is not enough for everything. How can I make Thunderbird current work/look like version 2? In other words, I would turn off the tabs for messages & research, including all traces of what it looks like a label, or space curved GUI / additional shadow separated, so also have only a single search box that will search and display in the current folder box and keep the menus easy to use (with shortcuts that appear when you type) standard for GUI programs While getting rid of the imitation chrome button. I guess that the tabs are okay for things like dealing with Add-ons, but that's all. Maybe there are other things I can think. I know that most/all this can be done in terms of configuration and I think a lot of people would like that there is a full article on it. Virtually everyone, many people that I talk about e-mail also let Thunderbird for all these reasons, of it being too influenced by web browsers, and the IRC channel is virtually dead, so I came here, hoping that this place is not as dead with what happened with the project (announcing that no major update will be When most of the people preferred it maybe before the latest GUI major updates)

    As you can see the 5 is different (thicker?) that the 1 and 9 and I wonder how I can make that look similar.

    The easiest way, rather than trying to fix the above is to make a new text layer and try some different fonts and maybe experiment with different anti-aliasing for text settings.

    As others have mentioned, you must pay attention to the angle and the quality of the light. you have light in the bg and strong strong light of the Sun on the furniture, but it's all at different angles. This should have been considered in the shooting and the selection of images, but I'm guessing that you have control. Depending on the angle of light of bg, the shadows of the furniture must be to where I have yellow lines that intersect. As standard has also mentioned, your point of view is disabled. you have a soft spot for the bottom, as evidenced by the green triangle depending on the model of the bricks and a much higher point of view as evidenced by the lines crossed in the table.

  • How can I make my slides look great on the landscape of phone?

    Hello

    I started using captivate a few days ago and I have the following problem:

    • I designed a few simple slides, but when tests on a device portable (iPhone5) are all messed up when I go from portrait to landscape the height and cannot view all my content.

    Do you know guys any good job around to fix this type of problem?

    What is the best practice here? For any support question CSS help?

    I thought to design everything in a 16:9 format.

    Thank you!

    I find the design for mobile has to involve trade-offs and compromises, it can be you need to change your mobile or Tablet views, so they are not exactly how you want, but it'll be better for multiple devices, but it will probably come along a new phone in all cases, that will be different again.

    You could try to reduce the height of view compressed to be the best for phones, but then the tablet users can find the rather sparse screen, that all depends on who your audience is or is intended to be of course.

  • How can I make the color replacement tool works correctly?

    I want to turn black to green in a chart B & w.  Here's the chart that I start by:

    celtic cross.png

    Here are the directions I followed (EP 13):

    Replacement of color

    • Select the tool, color replacement (the tool replace color is part of the Brush Tool Options bar).
    • Menu, choose a brush in the options bar. Mode, as a general rule, you'll want to keep the blending mode set to color.
    • For limits, choose one of the following:

      Batch Replaces the color sampled, wherever it occurs under the pointer of.

    Contiguous Replaces colors that are contiguous with the color under the pointer.

  • To tolerance, specify a small percentage to replace colors very similar to the pixel you click, or increase the percentage to replace a wider range of colors.
  • To give a smooth edge areas that you correct, select anti-aliased.
  • Choose the required sampling method. The available options are:

    Continues Continuous color samples, when you drag the color replacement tool.

    Once Samples of color only once, when you begin to drag the color replacement tool.

  • Background swatch Replaces the box containing the background color, whenever you drag the color on it replace tool.

  • Choose a foreground color to use to replace the unwanted color.
  • Click the color you want to replace in the image.
  • Drag the image to replace the target color.
  • And here is the result I get:

    celtic cross - green.png

    I chose very carefully the darker more deep black as the color to be replaced and all blacks should have turned to green, but only gray pixels on the edges did it.  Oh, and here's a screenshot selected as I am, even though I have tried many different combinations:

    black to green.JPG

    Help? I am a novice, so I need descriptive and explicit suggestions.  Thank you!!

    There are means other than the color tool replacement for what you want to do, which is to add color to a drawing in black or any other color.

    -First of all, use the magic wand tool to select the color (here black). You should see the "mobile dash" around the shape. Do not forget to uncheck "continuous."

    -Create a new layer while keeping the active selection (new layer in the layer Panel icon)

    -Menu Edition/fill selection"." Choose your destination color.

    The new layer now holds your shape with the color you have chosen.

    Hi cjohnm,

    You can use the 5 Lightroom Catalog and improve it in Lightroom 6, therefor all folders and collections will be identical in both version.

    Open the Lightroom all holding the key Alt/Opt and select only the 5 Lightroom Catalog and it will switch to it.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Hello

    You need Virtual WiFi:

    You may not have that unless you try to connect to other WiFi devices via your computer and
    many WiFi devices and their drivers do not correctly support the virtual pilot.

    Check with the manufacturer of system and/or support updated real manufacturer Sites and WiFi device drivers.
    (Which is also updating the driver virtual.) If no new drivers WiFi are available then re - install the present
    one.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network card (NIC) and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as
    Windows 7 like the updated drivers.

    ==========================================================================

    More information on what WiFi devices a virtual: (as noted above, if the device or the driver is not
    support the virtual device or is not required then it can be disabled).

    The WiFi device and the driver is installed must support a Virtual WiFi configuration. Check with the system
    Manufacturer support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums (if any) known
    questions. If the wireless device is supported for OEM sound drivers, visit their site for updated drivers and
    known issues (Intel, Realtek, LinkSys and others).

  • How can I add a color texture to a shape?

    Hi people,

    I'm still pretty new to illustrator.  I followed this tutorial:

    Illustrator Tutorial: Adding texture with a transparency mask - YouTube

    I am trying to add a texture metal .jpeg rusted at a speed I made in illustrator (which is imported into After Effects).  When I do the tutorial above, I get a black and white texture version.  How can I get a color version - I need to do something different of transparency?  Thank you very much!

    Looks like the tutorial showing how to use a transparency mask. A transparency mask is always black, white and shades of gray. If your equipment has a fill color, using the opacity mask will give you different shades of this fill color, according to the lights and shadows of the mask itself.

    It sounds like what you really want is a clipping mask. You need the shape of the craft and a texture that you want to use for DS:

    Put the train on top of the texture.

    Select the texture and the train.
