Color Correction / Grading software competition is intensifying. Exciting time, indeed.

With the rise of DSLR videos, I should’ve seen this coming sooner than later. I’ve heard the photographers are asked to do videos on assignments in addition to photos & this might help them to transition to manage-if not edit, videos while on the field.

Order of Operations

  1. Remove artifacts and de-noise.
  2. Balance your shots by adjusting BLACKS/MIDS/WHITES, SATURATION and WHITE BALANCE.
  3. Relight within a shot using power windows or masks.
  4. Add gradients, diffusion and other lens filters.
  5. Add vignettes.
  6. Grade your images.
  7. Simulate a film stock of your choice.
  8. Resize and sharpen.

Color Correction/Grading is my new favorite playground.

Michael Cioni talks 4K workflow and FCP proxies for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. A lot of great info and more to learn here, no doubt.
