wt(x)…?īe that a corollary to the “what is the cheapest possible display that I can use to achieve questionable results” thread as it may be, my sense of the OP’s question is that it is really about simulating the “look” of a particular emulsion-based stock as the image makes its way through the neg/print process. but if you are using a DCP transform to simulate a DCP projection, to a LUT’ed 708 display simulating a DCP theatre…. But you needn’t use it for grading unless you are in a P3 display environment…. Yes, the one that transforms from your originating colorspace (eg 709) to the target format, if its different (P3 XYZ should be a mathematical transform since there are no organic differences in the media and spectral display primaries among the projector population - or there shouldn’t be!). Not if you were working in a calibrated environment- one that conformed with industry standards & practices. “I mean, We all know you need two LUTs…”įirst LUT. They have all the leverage in the end to claim the data delivered was flawed. I mean, We all know you need two LUTs… one to compensate for your own viewing pipeline to “see” things in P3 and one more that emulates the desired output.Īnd if the output is provided by a print lab, then it should be in their best interest to provide such a “preview”Īnd yes, it would only work for their lab, their magic sauce and so on, but hey, thats exactly why I wanna judge in advance and then place the order.Ī lab that doesn’t provide it only wants to do the color work themselves and thus should be handled very carefully. They answer : NO, we wont give you the car, you might use it to open your own car rental. Imagine…you walk into Hertz to rent a car because you wanna drive somewhere. …which is one of the biggest nonsense thing in film history.
