Anton Meleshkevich June 7, 2018 Share June 7, 2018 (edited) Does anybody use RGB Qualifier? I know just one technique where it's used. Everything is on screenshots (1st still is "before". 2nd and 3rd are the same). This is NOT an example of a good grading, I know, that before-still is better . I just share a way of how RGB qualifier can be used. In this example in first node RGB curves make shadows more reddish (blue curve is hidden under green one). But it is applied less on less reddish and applied more on more reddish pixels. The same thing is with the blue (2nd node). Also curves set in this way to back neutral colors to neutral. Luma mixing set to zero just in case. Why RGB mask? Because it's very gentle. Just look at it's matte. But I'm sure, there is a lot of another techniques, I'd like to learn, where RGB Qualifier is used. Edited June 7, 2018 by Anton Meleshkevich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
Cary Knoop June 8, 2018 Share June 8, 2018 One comment, bringing curves down eventually clips the colors, however if you bring instead the complimentary colors up you avoid clipping. Link to comment Share on other sites
Anton Meleshkevich June 8, 2018 Author Share June 8, 2018 (edited) There is no clipping. RGB mask prevents from any clipping. Edited June 8, 2018 by Anton Meleshkevich Link to comment Share on other sites
