ABSTRACT

Many colorists disapprove of the term color correction because so much of their talent extends well beyond simply “correcting” bad color. But the truth of the matter is that when working on many images, the fi rst order of business is “correcting” the scene. Also, for many aspiring colorists, an even larger part of their jobs will be trying to correct bad video images. So this chapter is devoted to making bad images look okay, making decent images look good, and taking good images over the top.
