Re: color correction PLEASE HELP!

I shot an exterior interview that has a yellow cast to the right side of the woman's face. I've been trying to correct it without no success.

I'm editing in FCP7. Any suggestions would be so very welcomed.

Please help!

Thanks,
Margo

Using the 3 way color corrector. At the bottom of the control panel there is a disclosure triangle, limit effect. This will open up more controls. Using the eye dropper you can select the color you wish to work on. This will allow you to isolate that color and cc it without affecting the rest of the image. I think Ken did a tutorial on this many years ago but try doing a search on the web for Fcp7 limit effect

I agree about the 3 way color corrector. Also, if there is any white in the scene, you can use the dropper to sample it and do a white balance.

Phil, yes of course, but I'm talking about "Limit effect" which is at the bottom of your picture. The disclosure triangle at the bottom left opens up the extra controls. I think this is where Margo needs to be. If it is a case of light refection from a coloured surface but the overall white balance is correct trying to get rid of the yellow globally will affect the whole image. Using Limit effect allows you to isolate, in this case the yellow, and correct that only, leaving the rest of the image untouched.

Thank you so very much. I'm going to try these suggestions and research Ken's limit effect. So much appreciated.
