a7s skin tones: slog2 vs pp off (shogun 4k)

I find it much easier to get a pleasing look using FCPx! Handles colors VERY well. After Effects also works for me. Premier/ Speedgrade, not so much...

That's very true. I was told that FCPx was built ontop of an internal ACES pipeline and it's very good at getting the right inputs in. It needs more work with allowing you to choose yourself the type of footage being used though.

Hi Pat, my node structure/order looks like this:
1) S-Log2 => Linear LUT
2) S-Gamut => r709 Matrix via RGB Mixer
3) Exp/WB correction
4) Further color correction via the Hue/Hue and Hue/Sat curves
5) Linear => S-Log2 LUT
6) S-Log2 => r709 1D LUT
7) Soft Knee so that I more or less end up with Sony's 709-800 curve

I call this pseudo-ACES since I'm doing a conversion to linear light, like ACES does it. The difference is, I'm stayingin the r709 space compared to ACES' far wider colour space.

Paul, btw, very nice grading!

Tnx a lot Michael! I'll give it a try, hopefully I'll post a good looking result once finished

Cheers

Hey Patrick, did you get your grade all sorted out!? I've been looking for your end result!
