  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

What are the conditions the Skytower image taken in?

When I look at the image at 100% in PS, I notice noise especially in the tower windows which are darker.

I attribute this to lighting conditions. Besides noise isn't a bad thing, we all could use a little texture in our images.
 
What's going on with the soft/dark area in the lower right hand corner. I've noticed this for a bit but haven't said anything yet.

Seems likely that the water at the bottom of frame is reflecting the skyline.
The bottom middle portion of the frame is brighter than the bottom left or right sides because the skyline has a brightly illuminated cloud in the center.

What was the colorspace the DPX saved in from Baselight?
We transfered the shots from .r3d into baselight as 16bit log tiff, exported graded images as 16bit linear tiff.

It was shot at 6:15pm.

can't wait to grade some moving footage, from want I've seen the images are far more malleable than I thought they would be.
Should not take long for you now. Hie Coloumbus how was your return from the red User party saturday night?
 
Would love to see moving image, very pretty. As a still it looks pretty soft in PS but I'm thinking it would look great moving. Thanks

Hi Brenton,

could you clarify 16bit log ? Or did you mean 16bit lin in both I & O ?
thanks

Using RedLog out of RedAlert (which has the options REC709 gamma, Linear Light or RED Log). We would have output 10bit DPX but were having RedAlert issues... so we went with the 16bit TIFF option (since tiff doesn't have a 10bit option and Red Alert doesn't do 8bit). Imported as Log into Baselight, graded, then exported using Linear options to 16bit TIFF.

Does that help?
