Diagnose Exposure, Contrast, and Color Separately
Watch a representative passage and identify the main defect. A scene can be too dark, too flat, too saturated, or affected by a color cast. Changing every slider at once makes it harder to know which adjustment helps.
- Use skin, neutral objects, and important product surfaces as visual references.
- Separate indoor and outdoor footage when their lighting differs.
- Keep the original versions for comparison and later revision.
