White background lighting issue at DVinfo.net

John Moon · February 23rd, 2008, 12:33 PM

I finished up a shoot and thought I had the white background well lit and it even looked that way on the monitor. I have a slight problem on wider shots with some darkness on the edges. Tight shots look great. Anything from a post production standpoint to address this. Using FCP.

Thanks

inverse center mask and use a basic brightness contrast filter to brighten the edges. BCC filters have the built in pixel chooser to make this a simple fix.
