The problem, though, is one of complexity. If you&#039;re going to employ a very low budget and therefore be using equipment not really well-suited to the concept of &quot;quality,&quot; it&#039;s going to be kind of complex to learn the corrective steps needed downstream to make up for the limitations of the equipment. Graphics programs capable of cleanly correcting hue and saturation involve learning a whole &#039;nuther skillset on their own.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re willing to spend a couple thousand dollars, this all becomes very easy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
