Learn color correction from scratch using the Lumetri tool in one of the leading video editing programs on the market
In six-courses Domestika Basics, learn to use Lumetri, the powerful Adobe Premiere Pro tool for professional-grade color correction. Digital image technician Sergio Márquez teaches you his simple and intuitive approach to adjusting color, contrast, and lighting in your video sequences using this program.
In the first course, get an introduction to the tool and explore its features, along with its creative capabilities. Prepare your first sequence to practice working with color, adjustment layers, and masks.
In the second course, familiarize yourself with analysis and monitoring tools for light and color. Discover what scopes are and how to use them for your projects.
Learn about primary color correction in the third course. Sergio covers concepts like white balance, saturation, brightness, and how to make individual adjustments.
Move on to more complex material in the fourth course and see how to color correct using RGB curves. Then, go over secondary/HSL correction for isolated elements before tackling vignetting in your shots.
The fifth course is all about workflow and advanced color grading. Sergio shows you how to develop professional RAW footage and work with RAW, Log, and 709 files, as well as presets, LUTs and different looks in Lumetri.
In the sixth and final course, learn to export your projects in different formats, creating color masters and even low-quality exports for social media.
Technical requirements
⦁ A computer with Windows 10 or macOS 10.12 Sierra (or later). ⦁ Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Media Encoder (you can buy them or download the 7-day trial versions on the Adobe website).

Es un buen curso porque da el orden jerárquico para corregir el color, también aprendí que para colorizar una imagen primero se hace el valance de blancos para conseguir una imagen neutra.
