Anyone know a good on line tutorial on colour correction?

Hi Super 8 booster - thanks for all these links - I couldn't download all the mov's though - don't know if it was just a lousy connection on my part or something else - but anyway I'll keep working through them all - thanks for your help

I've just started getting into this with okay results - but thought a tutorial or info would be useful - anyone know a good site?

I sure hope that someday we'll see Applied Science Fiction's digital ROC in a moviefilm film scanner.....

Adobe Photoshop does basically the same by setting Auto Levels or use expert settings for those who are capable.

Here is one sample I did on a sverely faded photo.
Just scanned it and used auto levels to referesh it.

The differences on the prints are way more appearant than on these samples.

It is possible to export film strips into Photoshop and treat each frame this way or automate the process.

The faded scan looks much better here than the original does, for reference but I think the difference is clear enough.

Corrected.

Yes, but I remember a web reference detailing the steps a professional photographer employed to salvage a very difficult image. After 2 hrs, he claimed to almost equal ROC performance (4min - Guess what he now uses).

ROC is a valuable simplification, and we would do well if more products like this become available.

i have not started using final cut pro for editing as of yet ... perhaps in the next few weeks i will start to have some time to start figuring it out. but i did purchase some really good dvd's from the los angeles fcp users group, and one of them deals with color correction in detail and alot of the others also touch on it in one form or another. i also purchased a dvd specifcally regarding how to color correct while editing with fcp ... its from digitaltree ... http://www.digitalfilmtree.com/images/sales/store.html and is a really good dvd. i would suggest this one, as well as select ones(dvds) from the lofcpug. these are products that are real world with real people in the top of their own field(respectively), and are extemely useful. i have watched them over and over, and even though i have yet to setup my apple and install my software, i know and understand alot without ever appying any of it in real life. i did the same with mold making and metal casting and lathe/mill work ... and by the time actually used the machines or products/processes, i felt like i had already done it and had very little problems because i knew what to avoid and what to focus on.
