Matching Darks/Highlights

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to flame and I have come from nuke and shake. I was wondering for color correction, how I could match my highlights and shadows(darks) to another footage.

Usually in nuke you can do it in the grade node and select the darks of one and match it to the other and the same with the highlights. Is there a way to do this in flame?

Hi Miles,

this should get you started -> the match node in the color warper or CC

In the Color Correct node’s Curves area–using a Front & Back input, you can use the swatches to the right of the curves to designate your color to be matched (front) and color to match to (back) and hit “Match”

This can get a bit horsey if you match a bunch of colors, but it’s a nice place to start and very similar to the Nuke “Grade” node.

To do it by eye, I like upping the viewer contrast (shift + C, then drag left or right on the image) then adjusting the exposure (shift + E) to drop it back down. At this point any difference in the color will be much more pronounced and easier to match by eye.

To start you need at the right of the curves to designate your color, use swatches in order to match the color.
