Need help matching these frame grabs at DVinfo.net

I am trying to get these two samples to look as simular as possible in terms of exposure. On sample 2, I changed iris setting on my FX1 to eliminate the over exposure at the hair and forehead. Any suggestions on how to match these in FCP5? Levels? Color?

Glenn,

Use the 3-way Color Corrector filter; there are built-in advanced features that will automatically match color, gamma and tempurature based on points you select in the frame. Pick up this book from the Apple Pro Training Series: "Advanced Color Correction and Effects in FCP 5", this will outline very clearly this process and literally everything else you'll need to know about color correction in FCP.

Thanks Robert. That helps a lot. I did not even know that FCP had a matching filter.
