I’ve been corresponding a little with John Dickinson about his infographics on the color correction tools in After Effects. Last week he took on Levels and today, Curves. Once you’ve studied these a little bit, you can test them out on an image with a full range of color in it. You can even display RGB alongside each of the three color channels in the 4-up (”4 Views”) mode as is suggested on page 197 of AE 7 Studio Techniques – why use it only for 3D? I typically make some adjustments to midtones as well with Curves (making, you know, a curve) and as John points out in his post, the book contains some that I’ve found to be typically useful. However I think I understand why, for the sake of visual simplicity, this one is displayed with all linear adjustments. Nice work, John, and I’m pleased to have the book cited as inspiration.

Awesome! I just got Mark’s book about a month ago and i love using levels now too and this little guide you’ve taken the time to make is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
