Hello! I am editing some footage that was shot during the day that is supposed to look like night. It looks very nightlike, and I was able to make a mask of the sky and darken it. There are still some spots of the image that I would like to darken and need some ideas with how to go about it. The shot is the side of a garage, and there is a moving shadow of some branches and some very bright spots of the garage from the sun. Is there a feature where I can select the specific shade of grey made by the sun and replace it with a darker grey? Or maybe there's an easier way!
Shadows in Day for Night shots have long been a problem, even for Hollywood. The moon just doesn't cast the same kind of shadows, and that difference has always been pretty obvious in films.

You NEED training. You NEED a desktop. You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

You can use the Qualifier tool in the Color page to select the luma range you want to adjust and, if necessary, further isoloate / target that selection with power windows.
Let's have a return to the glory days, when press releases for new versions included text like "...with over 300 new features and improvements that professional editors and colorists have asked for."
