The next set of controls for our cinematic post-processing
chain will be related to tweaking the color.

the first one is going to be temperature, a
major part of calibrating the white balance.

based on the temperature slider, the overall color
of lighting can be made warmer or cooler, so let's

start with adding the mix node, choosing
multiply as the blend mode and there we simply

balance the overall temperature of lighting by
moving it over to the orange or the blue parts

of the color wheel. the mix factor can also be used
to fine tune the grading, the change to the color

temperature is a sweeping change to all the color
relationships in your lighting, it's this type

of much needed extra control over your lighting
scheme that just changes the overall relationship

between colors in your lighting and allows
you to push it towards warmer or cooler tones.

aside from the temperature control, the
photographic post-processing tools often include

the tint control as well, the tint slider usually
goes from green to magenta to cover that portion

of the color gamut, so the mix node is invited to
stage once again. if you know me I like to rename

the nodes and everything to keep things organized,
so that one should be named tint from now on :)

as we have mentioned you either choose
green or complementary color to green

which is magenta and the rest of the game is just
eyeballing the intensity of the tinting effect,

so the combo of temperature and tint nodes is
our way of controlling white balance in Blender

compositor and think of it as a rather global
adjustment, as opposed to tweaking the individual

lights and trying to balance them against each
other, tweaking these two nodes alone may alter

the perception of the entire lighting that we have
set up. as they say, borrow from cinematographers :)

the value contrast or the contrast of
brightnesses plays an important role in

color grading. there are a few places in Blender
where you can adjust the contrast: in the Blender

compositor we have the brightness-contrast node
but I prefer the other methods as I think that

by using this node in the compositor it's fairly
easy to clip the blacks for example, so I don't

feel really comfortable with it for some reason.
the RGB curves node is much better in that sense,

a common way to ramp up the value contrast
there is to draw the so-called s-shaped curve

and then you can play with the position
of these points to pivot the contrast.

again, M mutes and unmutes the node and
can be used to compare before and after.

so that is yet another way of controlling
the contrast. we also have the color

management tab where such things can be
controlled so let's have a look at it.
