Thank you Nicolas for producing this and your preceding videos, which are very informative. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them and have picked up many useful tips.
Looking forward to a more in-depth look at the Channel Mixer. I understand how it works but never really find a use for it. Would be good to see some examples of when and why it's the best tool for the job.
You could always use the inverted raster mask from the first colour calibration mask for the lady bird, to save having to redo the masking. 3rd use of the color calibration module was cool, thanks
Yes, the raster mask is a faster way to do it but then you lose control over the mask. When a vector mask is a simple one to create, I prefer to recreate it. Thanks for the comment!
Another way is to duplicate the first color calibration instance, which copies the masking, and then invert the mask of the new instance and edit its settings. That way the 2nd instance's mask is exactly the inverse of the first instance's mask, like with a raster, but it works with vector too.
the green may be a little over saturated for me, but your overall techniques is helpful for those who want to get rid of the bright spot and other problem. I think the best way for people to learn is actual problem solving and specific example vs a lot theoretical stuff!
I admit to having pushed the greens quite a lot! Learning a new trick is always interesting but if you understand how the channel mixer calculates colors then you can invent your own! There are simpler tools to learn first though and other modules can help shift colors.

Thanks David, glad I can help!
Thank you. It was really helpful!
Thanks !

The video is coming on how the channel mixer works and how to use it.

@@NicDade oh yeah nice idea. Thanks ☺️
