Mark Mulcaster January 10, 2017 Share January 10, 2017 (edited) Hiya! My first thread i have a few user questions hope someone can help me with - i hope people dont mind me asking or think im being lazy in not figuring it out myself - i probably am! lol Im making the transition from Mistika to baselight so a couple of queries of silly things that ive yet to work out - part of the trouble and fun of working on a new system! I work in UHD a lot and i currently have a lot of 1080p footage i need to upscale to 3840x2160. I have Formats applying the rescale for me, but what id like to do is selectively sharpen fine edge detail. I was able to do this in Mistika where by i could create difference matte using a shrink node (sort of a sharpen filter than works on the inside edge rather than outside edge of an image) also, in mistika at times it was good to be able to make a selection and either effect or recover just the luma or chroma from a source or previous layer - again it maybe because im relying to much on the inside\outside grade to do everything - but is there a similar way to achieve that on baselight? thanks for your time!

This You can do with the layer Blend-Modes (e.g. Luminance, Color). You can also choose a different 'blend-source', for example the original image or another layer. See this tutorial for an introduction. About Your first question I am not quite sure. A classic edge-detection tool is not available, unfortunately. Probably You are able to do a matte like this with 'MatteTool' (Erode/Dilate, In Out Blur) and Layer Blend modes, I guess. But the standard sharpen tool in Baselight is extremely powerful, when You learn about all the parameters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites

Ah shame on me, seems like I forgot to put the link to my last post. It's been quite a while, I don't remember which tutorial I meant, but probably it's this one from the official Filmlight page: https://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/training/resources/baselight/FLT-BL-0032-Baselight-16.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
