  1. Thank you for being so helpful Jussi! Do you use them often, and in which situations?
  2. Thank you Mitch! Anyone knows how to apply a 3x3 image transform matrix or a function by node in Davinci? I have never bothered to apply a matrix only because I have always wanted the 'film' curve (that is not transformed in a matrix) and not primary and white point corrections.
  3. It looks like this strong contrast curve could be complicated to create without using a film emulation LUT. Any properties that can be modified in a LUT to make an image appear more gritty?
  4. Is the lum vs lum the closest tool to the Mistica 5-band control in Davinci? Is the band control luma only, or does it also affect the rgb components?
  5. Beautiful textured look, what is your secret to the painterly feeling?
  6. @Ira Morris, I'm fan of your fashion/beauty work! Can you share some of your beauty grading tips?
  7. Have you tried the Davinci Resolve Killer Tips app? Quality tips? Mostly shortcuts from the manual?

    FILM COLOR TIMING

    Thank you for this in-depth article! How is printer points different from lift, gamma, gain when it comes to balance an image? Is it a more organic correction because it's global controls that affects the whole image?

  10. Technicolor developed Cinestyle for Canon, but has anyone translated this log curve to be used for de-logging on other camera profiles?
  11. Though it would be fun to have an ongoing thread about what you are currently working with. Who's the first one out?
  12. We're about to invest in a new machine park running mainly Avid + DaVinci linked together with Avid Nexis and some standalone Avid/Premiere stations. A bunch of HP Z840 seems like a good solution for us, but I would like to hear your opinion on the main differences between PC and Mac's in general for post production setups?
  13. It was shot in 35mm, and they called it a variation of Technicolor two strip where they built blue by remapping red and green. The original blue channel was not used at all.
  14. When I started working in post doing finishing many years ago, I worked several years with bad habits. I must admit having delivered huge amount of content before really understanding the core and basics of setting a proper balance and preparing a shot for further enhancement and look creation. That was my moment of truth. I would like to know, what do you wish you knew when you entered the color scene?
  15. I will check tomorrow when I'm back in the office but I'm pretty sure the Photoshop hue control is a global controller similar to the offset wheel in Resolve.
  16. Can you help me with an overview of the most popular color grading looks?
