Possible bug with the colour balance filter

Just wondering if someone else could try out the colour balance filter. I was messing around with it yesterday in Vegas 6b and found that selecting between low, mids and highlights made no difference. In other words it wouldn't let me adjust them independently of one another.

Hi -

You do mean the Colour Balance Fx? There are also "filters" within Colour Correction - do you mean that Fx?

Anyways, in Colour Balance Fx I don't think I'm seeing what you are .. er . . not seeing? All the sliders, RGB work, and all the options for, Highlights, Midtones and Shadow (lows?).

I've got the Scopes up and can see the adjustments making a difference on the scopes too.

I have to ask, do you have the Fx Bypass activated or not?

But, I appear to have all three option working and independant of each other. But maybe you mean something else here - "independant"?

Grazie

Hi,

Yes, the colour balance FX. I can asjust the sliders and whether or not they affect the shadows, highlights and midtones. But the problem is that it does not seem to matter whether I select highlights midtones or shadows, the sliders just seem to affect the entire picture no matter which one I select.

So for example if I just want to add green to shadows for some reason and I select "Shadow", it will also add green to the highlights and midtones equally.

Just had a play around with it more. It does seem that there is a difference between the selections. Although perhaps the three different areas are not quite as isolated as I was expecting.
