why does that scare you? only tweaked a bit, it wasn't base neutral, had a minor fiddle! also it is graded...

namely because it looks a bit oversharpened, the rest is just personal preference v

the dark edges around objects I'm not to fond of. Nor the globby appearance of fine detail. I assumed it was camera sharpening and compression. But if you dialed down sharpness then I'm a littttlleee weary now.
 
Just to clarify: was this shot with the usual "for grading" lowered contrast, saturation, sharpness and highlight tone priority? Or was it shot in the stock "neutral" setting with just minor tweaks?

oh Kholi. Don't fret. I will do a shot for you with proper flat PP so you can take a look. sharpness all way down, saturation down 2 notches, contrast all way down and highlight tone priority enabled.

i am getting confused now. It was neutral with some tweaks, but not down, up...but i would have to check! it certainly was not the grading profile at all.

Thanks Philip. I think people were getting worried that this was the grading profile.

god no. that would be washed out as hell. I wanted to post something out of the camera as I was not planning to grade it. I honestly can't remember EXACTLY what the settings were. Sorry!
 
Bringing that XR clip into AE and interpreting the color space of the clip as linear reveals a surprising amount of shadow detail (this is NOT the right way to do it AFAIK, it's just a fast way of imposing a drastic gamma curve change.

Thanks Phillip. Honestly if it's a still of a shot glass somewhere that would be enough.

I did something like this before reading your post. What I did was bring both the original image and the re-compressed image into Vegas and cranked the gamma and saturation up on both clips. The original version showed a lot more color information, detail and blacks than the recompressed file (which was expected). It goes to show how much information we actually lose when re-compressing for downloads etc.
 
Whoa! I know it technically shouldn't, but is it just me or does this look as good as anything I have seen coming out of a Sony EX1?

Why would you think that the EX1 is technically superior in terms of its image-acquisition capability?
