Hello, I've been looking in PD 10 for some kind of histogram, video waveform monitor, vectorscope, or even just some kind of shadow/highlight warnings. Is there anything there I just don't see? If not, what do you do to make sure your color and luminace is correct? Do you know of a plug-in or program that can do a screen capture and show these details?

Thanks!
Dave

The color-correction ability of PD is somewhat limited, it works well on some videos, not so well in others. In the FIX/ENHANCE module is where you'll find the white balance and color controls, and a few choices in the EFFECT ROOM can also help. Now, PD does also have NEW BLUE plug-ins which can be purchased and further color-control can be realized. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Thanks for the response. I've been happy with the amount of color correction options in PD, I just was hoping to see some kind of meter or display to show if the luminance is within legal range. Maybe there is some plug-in or program I could use at the same time with PD...?
