Tom Evans January 24, 2018 Share January 24, 2018 I really like to use the contrast + pivot tools with log images, but I feel like I loose some control as it doesn't visualize the curve the same way as if I had drawn it myself. It probably is a stupid questions, but is it possible to map the contrast + pivot tool corrections to the main luminance curve so that I can see and work further on the same curve with the traditional curve tool?

Emily Haine January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 Unfortunately, the only way to vizualise the curve is to create it with the curve tools. You can do a log contrast adjustment and finesse the curve with other tools, for then to apply the corrections on a greyscale to see the changes. But that would be quite an excessive process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
Jussi Rovanperä January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 One thing you can do is to manually set a pivot point for the custom curve to the same location as the pivot setting, and then you can use both contrast and the custom curve together in a consistent way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites
Tom Evans January 25, 2018 Author Share January 25, 2018 That is actually pretty clever as I can use the contrast + pivot to build the base, paste it on to a greyscale and copy it manually on to the curves. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
