  • 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 :)

Frame Grab

On my monitor it looks very magenta, very very magenta.
 
awe, a cute little Scotch/Irish, is that your daughter?
 
No a Mac but really old, could be my monitor. However the girl is very cute
 
Great shot - thanks for sharing.

I really don't like to monkey with someone else's color... not sure what they intended. But the shot did have a lot of blue. Good thing about RAW is you can change WB in post.

It is not as easy to change a jpeg as it is RAW footage, but this is another look minus some blue. Sorry... didn't mean to step on your toes. The shot is great!

Thanks for that Jim. Nice. Though Im not overly concerned with WB in this shot, and would rather people comment from a tech pov disregarding color balance, subject and composition (basically anything that we have artistic control of) but taking into account noise, detail, sharpness, color gamut etc.

PS. ...Happy New Year
 
That overly chunky pixelated green background, is that a result of JPEG compression? Can you post a 4k tiff ?
 
Guys, Color calibration of your monitor is key! And the higher the rez the more important! I use the Spyder, colorfacts Pro. It is worth having!

I have had way too many issues shooting HD in the field and everyone loves it on set, and later in post there is a problem and it it major stress. (One major problem was my 23" Apple cinema display is not liner in it's color tracking!)

The shot is beautiful! It looks is un-lit. It looks to me as if the warm top light is mixing with the cool/greener light that is bouncing up from the surface below. The high resolution exacerbates the light-color difference.

The original image is RAW it should easy to clean up. It appears the gamma and blacks are cool/greenish.

I assume the chunkeyness of the green background is the jpeg?

Holiday Cheers,

Great frame, Bachman! Thanks for posting.

I'm assuming the blockiness in the background is due to the JPEG compression because it's much more evident in Jim's colored version than on the original.
 
The compression is due to the JPG. I just learned this the hard way; even if you save a JPG at the full-quality (least compressed) settings, "attaching" the file to your post uploads it to reduser.net where it is recompressed at a much lower quality and even shrinks the image size if it is bigger than the maximum limits it wants. This is most likely to save space on the server, but it makes examining stills on a forum that's all about image quality not very efficient.

The easy solution is to upload the images in the quality and size you prefer to your own site and then link directly. This way they remain pristine and don't raise these endless questions of "is that blockiness in the image RED's fault?"

I'm also curious - what's with the mini-letterboxing?
 
your right Haakon.. and unfortunately image constraints need to be that way on the server.. it already costs me mucho $$ to host the scaled down versions.

thankfully, there are plenty of free image hosting sites out there that will allow you to post full resolution, low compression images, with just the method you described.
