Jake and Dan were wanting the Photoshop CS5 feature Vibrance or something similar to that function inside of Nuke, so they made this handy Vibrance Gizmo for Nuke for all to use.

“Since Adobe brought the Vibrance adjustment known from Lightroom in Photoshop, we wouldn’t want to miss it anymore. Briefly said it is dropping down the saturation of an image, only addressing the low saturated areas and trying to preserve skin tones.

To have the same ability inside the Foundry’s Nuke, we created this Vibrance Gizmo to plug your images in. Use the image as img input of the Gizmo and you are good to go. We took several samples of different skin tones and tried to find a good average color for the skin tone preservation, but you can actually provide your own color within the Gizmo’s settings if you need to.”
