AVV Color Lab

[Roberto Lequeux]

Hey I have a quick question (I hope) about the free plug-in AVV Color Lab. I see a "Blend" bar on each of the different effects but it is always grayed out, in all of them. I wonder if I can set the WB or other setting and then use this bar to adjust the intensity of the changes I applied. It would be great especially for the WB when you want to for example set the WB from tungsten but want to keep a bit of the warm tones by dialing it back a bit.

Interesting. I find colorLab a must for vegas but it still has some inconveniences. The WB picker (which i use a lot) is not very accurate and tends to tint the highlights too much. And as you say, it should be manually adjusted if needed.

Yes, that is where I see the problem too, in the highlights more than the rest. Weird. But I suppose being able to dial it down would give you good mids and highlights. It might just be perception. Dunno.

I guess the work around would be to duplicate the shot, then WB the top layer and lower its opacity of it to your preference.

Is this feature is disabled in the free version only? Is there a payed version?

That didn't work well... I ended up adding two Color Balances (Mids and Highs) and a Curve and doing it all in one layer. It is a shame cause it really seems like it makes shots blue...

What is the best accurate WB picker for Vegas?
