[MacDV] Re: How2 Correct Bright Stage Recording

[sb]

There's very little you can do when you severely overexpose.

In Final Cut, you can duplicate the layer, create a mask over the  
washed out area, and try to use the 3 way color corrector to bring  
back what little detail remains.

Good lesson. Always underexpose. You can bring up the detail in a dark  
image, but once it's washed out, you can't get it back.

  regards,

  sb
