If you want to lighten your picture, start with the highlights and then fine tune with the shadows. See how darkening this image using the shadows instead of the highlights makes it look even more realistic?įor the best results, I suggest working with both the highlights and the shadows. I do not recommend using this to lighten the picture as the results usually turn a little bleak, but if your intention is to darken your picture, the shadows are your friends as well. The shadows are a nice way to manipulate your picture as well. At this point, you have successfully mastered working with the highlights. You are now darkening the picture, giving it a rather ghostly look. This effect also works in reverse by pulling the arrow to the bottom instead. You will have to fiddle with that to find just what it right for your source. Extending the length of the arrow controls the spread of these highlights. By moving this arrow to the left, you are therefore highlighting the picture. The picture in the preview window turned a lot lighter. We want to work with all colors.įor starters, we will work with the arrows.Īs you can see, I clicked on the end of the top arrow and moved it to the left, leaving the bottom completely untouched. Please also make sure that the channel box on the top left is set to RGB. The top right box is for working with the highlights in the picture, the bottom left box is for working with the shadows.

You will notice a straight line with two boxes at the top right and bottom left corner plus some arrows starting at these boxes. This is what your window should look like now (clicking on all tutorial pictures will make them bigger for you to look at properly): Every other preset already has a certain value changed and we don't want that. I usually apply the "reset" version to a clip just because that is the null effect and you can start from scratch. You can find this effect under "Color Curves" in the Effects tab.

I also used the new Sony Vegas Pro 9 64bit version, but this tutorial applies to Sony Vegas 4 to 7 plus the Pro and Media Studio version of 8 and 9.įirst, you need to apply the gamma correction filter to the clip in the timeline. It's a nifty little effect that often goes unnoticed because it does look a bit imitading the first time you use it but it really is fairly easy to use.įor the purpose of this tutorial I used a picture in Sony Vegas instead of a video clip as I thought this pic would be a better example to show you just what how gamma correction works. This is just a short tutorial to show you what gamma correction in Sony Vegas can do.
