Color Correction

[Media Editor]

Davinci Resolve for color correction has Lift, Gamma and Gain.  Does Premiere CC 2019 have a similar feature?

In the Lumetri, the Color Wheels tab is LGG.

In Basic tab, the Whites control is Gain, but the Blacks control is just a 'flapper' for the bottom 20 values primarily.

Thank you,

wouldn't that be called shadows, then? i only use curves because those controls don't correspond to anything. honestly they should just get rid of that black, white slider. at least make it work like photoshop's raw controls. I mean, black slider affecting all the way up to 25ire... white acting like a global exposure, and exposure acting like whites...shadows affecting 80 ire....nothing makes sense.

Go to my website and see the explanations of what the tools do. And I would want proper video color tools, not Photoshop ones.

The Whites is a straight Gain tool in pro video terms. Perfectly useful.

Basic tab Blacks is the odd one.

There are two types of low-end controls typically used, either Lift or Offset. Lift is the reverse of Whites ... and is the same as grabbing the black point end of Curve tab and moving it up or down.

Offset moves the entire scale up or down the same amount. It's a big point between colorists as to whether Lift or Offset is the more useful. I personally prefer Offset. Either works.

The middle is typically controlled by a Gamma tool, that slides the midtones up or down.

The Basic tab tools from Shadows, Highlights,  Contrast, and Whites work quite well and quickly.

But the Blacks tool ... it's mostly a "hinged" effect. So it either quickly stretches or compresses the bottom 20 values.
