Bleach Bypass

Tutorial link: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/simple_bleach_bypass/

This tutorial is useful, as it has taught me how to create this type of contrast look without increasing the saturation. I have used my rendered video for the "Children" exercise, in this exercise because the little girl on the right is just too cute!

Before:

After:

1. Go to Effect > Color Correction > Levels
- Edit the input black and input white
2. Go to Effect > Color Correction > Brightness & Contrast
- Adjust the brightness and contrast
3. Duplicate the layer and delete the effects
4. Change the mode for layer 1 from "Normal" to "Color" and it will overlay the color of the bottom layer
*Another method (instead of having 2 layers):
-Go to Effect > Channel > CC composite
-Change the Composite Original from "Regular" to "Color"
