Color Finesse Settings Reset
by Vadim Kharchenko 3 months ago
Hello! I have got a problem exporting adobe premiere project with color finesse plugin to after effects. All setting I have done in CF in Premiere just resets when I have exported it in After Effects.
Re: Color Finesse Settings Reset
by Bob Currier 3 months ago
We're still researching the exact cause of this, but what we're seeing is that it's the hue wheels and curves that don't come across from Premiere to AE. All the rest of the settings are transferred c

Formula used by RGB Gamma control in Color Finesse 3
by Lee Powell 3 months ago
I'm using the version of Color Finesse 3 bundled with Adobe After Effects CS6. Anyone know the precise formula used to calculate RGB gamma In 8-bit mode, I assumed it was: new_value = 255*((old_value
Re: Formula used by RGB Gamma control in Color Finesse 3
by Bob Currier 3 months ago
I'm not near the code to look, but as I recall the value is raised to the reciprocal (1 gamma) power. Color Finesse is all 32-bit float internally, so there is no "255" conversion involved. Bob Currie

Re: Color Finesse III worked, now it's reverted to trial mode!
by Bob Currier 11 months ago
After Effects CS4 came with Color Finesse 2 LE, not Color Finesse 3. Do you have a CF3 serial number or a CF2 serial number A CF2 serial number will start with "CFLEP20" while a CF3 serial will start
Matching PP Color Correction in AE

Color Finesse isn't an additional purchase, it's installed automatically into After Effects by the Adobe CS4 and CS5 installers. In CS3 it was a separate installer on the Adobe DVD, but there was stil
Why doesn't my image desaturate if I have made changes to the RGB levels on color finesse?
by Dionysios Kotsilimpas 2 years ago
As the title states. If i have adjusted the RGB levels and then try to desaturate the image slightly it gives it an orange tint rather then desaturate the image. Once i uncheck my RGB adjustments then
Re: Why doesn't my image desaturate if I have made changes to the RGB levels on color finesse?
by Bob Currier 2 years ago
Jon Bagge is correct, it's an operation ordering issue. The HSL controls (which is where the saturation control is) is processed prior to the RGB controls. So you end up colorizing your desaturated im

Hi Bob
Just wanted to let you know that I've put another couple of CF tutorials up. One on the vectorscope and another one which is only podcast at the moment and will go live later this week is on waveform monitors in CF. I have also pointed out in both that Test Gear is available and given the SA website.

Let me know what you think

The VS tutorial looks really good. I tweeted about it via @synthap and am planning to include a pointer to it (and your other tutorials) in our next email newsletter. Looking forward to the WFM tutori [more]

Re: Approach Using Color Finesse's WVM and Vectorscope

I took a quick crack at this to see what I could do. I've found that curves are particularly useful for this kind of faded-photo situation, since the underlying problem is that you've lost most of the
