RGB is great when the problems are more in the luminance area while LAB color space is designed to work better with clips that have hue differences.<\/p>\n<p>As I have said before, for most of your images and clips the default settings are going to work just fine. But for those items that can prove a little more awkward there are a few more options such as the ability to do some Pre-Adjustment as well as being able to Blend with the Original image to \u2018pull-back\u2019 some of the original if you need it.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, there\u2019s a lovely little feature that allows you to be selective of the range of a clip or image you want to sample using the \u2018Window Match\u2019 tools. While you may not need to use this very often, it is a very helpful tool to get rid of \u2013 or just select \u2013 specific parts of a clip for better results.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Pre-Adjustment and Window Controls Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Pre_Adjustment-and-Window-Controls-Settings.png\" alt=\"OtherControls\" width=\"397\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Pre_Adjustment-and-Window-Controls-Settings.png 397w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Pre_Adjustment-and-Window-Controls-Settings.png?resize=247,300 247w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Pre_Adjustment-and-Window-Controls-Settings.png?resize=277,337 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Pre_Adjustment-and-Window-Controls-Settings.png?resize=359,437 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Pre_Adjustment-and-Window-Controls-Settings.png?resize=150,182 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the manual that comes with RE:Match is user friendly and the plug-in itself quick and intuitive \u2013 although slightly more so in After Effects than Premiere Pro in my opinion. \u00a0Notwithstanding, I wouldn&#8217;t hesitate to recommend it to Premiere Pro users as well.<\/p>\n<p>One idea that has crossed my mind for Premiere Pro users would be to export a still image of the reference shot you would like to use and then re-import that into your project and simply trim it out to the length of the clip you want to cover.
