This quick reference guide shows you how to use Curves similar to the way you use Levels, but keep in mind that Curves’ real strength lays in the fact that you can add multiple points to each curve. Amongst other things, this allows you to make corrections to one part of an image’s dynamic range without affecting another. Keep in mind also that unlike Levels, lowering the equivalent of Output White and Output Black in Curves changes the gamma. View guide

MILG 6 and 7 host Tim Clapham recently completed a beautiful animation for 3D World magazine, created using Cinema4D and Adobe After Effects. The even cooler news is Tim recorded a tutorial.
Prologue has posted a teaser for The Pacific, the sequel to the stunning Band of Brothers miniseries. My friend and ex-Foxtel colleague Clarissa Donlevy headed up Concept, Design and Direction. A beautiful piece of work indeed.

Hey, great guides! On the levels guide, for RGB Output, you show “Lower darkest black level” for Output Black, next to the arrows pointing to the right. Shouldn’t that be “Raise darkest black level”?
