    A gift from me to you AlexaV3_K1S1_LogC2Video_Rec709_EE_davinci3d.cube

    Some of them have not been in use since the Avid DV version back in 2004. Not a very solid system back then I recall. It crashed regularly and we had to take the plane to London with the master tapes to get the shows on air on time.

    Great, thank you very much!

    I thought it was a strange decision when they first made the choice to not allow reactivation of old licenses. That probably led to many users turning to the competitors. Good to know it's now possible as I have a bunch of the old purple dongles stored in a dusty box in my office.

    I have som *.3DL LUTs that I want to transform to *.Cube or anything else that can be read by DaVinci. Any idea about how I can transform them?

    Hi all! Why do you need access to LAB for and how do you set it up in DaVinci?

    You don't need books to make an image look good. You only need the ability to manipulate the three color channels, density controls and inspiration. Recreate things you see around you and pay attention to light and color.

    Great thoughts and example images Bruno. I think that it looks like the movie was shot with a vivid color palette in mind. In a film noir there is a stylized simplicity to the aesthetics with hard lines between black and white. I know Miller is fan of 'chrome', but my personal opinion is that it would have worked better if the scenes were staged and lightened for that.

    I've had great success with lowering the master RGB-gain and increasing the luminance gain. That is a common technique to produce a silver tinted image. If you study Saying Private Ryan there are also some clipped blacks and blown out highlights.

    Changing the different values in the monochrome mixer can play an important part in storytelling. In this shot the director wanted to make the blood on his hands stand out, and in others we worked with texture and definition and handled banding artifacts.

    Thank you for this great insight!

    CALVIN KLEIN 'ENCOUNTER'

    Thomas Singh commented on Lowepost's insider article in Case Studies

    Great details in the blacks and I've been experimenting a lot with the Lum to Lum S-curve after reading this with nice results.

    Can someone please explain what this means?

    I came across this Scratch tutorial about beauty retouching. In still photography, retouchers often tend to use cloning, healing and B/D techniques. What is your approach to beauty work?

    Many great shots in there. Enough great shots to put together a reel on one third of the length with hero shots only.

    A Photoshop tutorial that could be worth having a look at https://aircavs.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/photochrom-vintage-postcard/

    Congratulations with the HPA award Steven! But, when did people start to care about Hollywood colorists' political standpoints ? The Revenant colorist Steven J. Scott perceived shrill acclaim when he spoke out about President-elect Donald Trump’s comments toward immigrants, women and others, as he accepted his seventh Hollywood Professional Association Award for underline film tone grading, Thursday night during a Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

    What do you think about the de-noise tool in DaVinci, and has it improved since they first introduced it?

    Some of the companies behind the color correctors are trying to expand their users group by marketing their products as something else or more than color correctors. Marketing DaVinci Resolve as the world most powerful editor is an example. I think that Mistika is the only product mentioned above that really is a tool that can compete in both the color grading and online league because of its extraordinary toolset. Probably some of the reason why the price is so much higher than the rest.
