	Re: simple color correction question by Darby Edelen on May 23, 2008 at 7:09:33 pm The best way to get close to the same look would be to compare the red channel, green channel and blue channels to one another. Even write down some color values from the image you want to use to match the blue shirt, the gray divider and the skin tones. Then tweak the Color Correction > Levels values for across the channels to get them to look approximately correct. This will probably take a few iterations to get something that looks good. And you will still want to apply a global color correction above everything to try and tie it in better.
