i should do a color space/workflow with Lowepost...

I believe it means to do different grades to be comp later in online

in that way you can "control" different areas doing sligltly different grades in terms of contrsasst, saturation, detail and stuff like that

Controlling the separate tonal ranges with printer lights would work against what the tool is designed for and the point of creating a clean and cinematic image that preserves the lightning on set.

Your comment on "the hobbit" thread helped me find the article I was referring to 😊

In that article it clearly state that printer point are used to control highlight and shadows. 

I was wandering what it meant and how was that achieved. 

Agree! 

Altought I was hoping to get a little deeper insight, but I hope some more things can come up in the comments. 

For example I was reading in some other article (can't find it right now, I will look for it) the use of printer lights also to control with precision different tonal range like shadows, mids, hilights. 

How that can be achieve? 

By keying the 3 tonal ranges and keep them in parallel, perhaps? 

It's quite long time im using printer points for my base grade, and I have to say it's the best tool as far I'm concern 

Thanks a lot for the time taken to write this article, super helpful!

I can't wait to get baselight and try it out!!!
