[Roberto B]

Blair will be receiving his LCD and EVF next week. The RED DRIVES were not available yet.

any idea when?..

 

[brandon herman]

this is all awesome!

Thanks, guys!

one request: can we see more moving footage; maybe rack focus from hands to face?

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

Could someone just walk out onto the street with it, in broad daylight, with a wide angle lens.

Cheers,

Sharpening is for final viewing, not for mucking with the levels to see what's going on with the image. It's to show how sharp and nice the images can be when you add just enough of just the right amount of sharpening right at the end, with the target display method in mind - pretty much just what you'd do with a DSLR image for print or display.

Graeme... IMO, at this level and degree it's destroying the whole esthetic that YOU were aiming for with the look of RED images, smooth, clean and naturally sharp...

...besides, 16bit .tiff's just beg to be "mucked" around with...

Everyone remember there are a group of us mirroring, so don't crash Jeff's server!

Toni didn't know when the RED DRIVES were coming in.

Understood, Jim. But i'm not the shooter or post producer of those shots, and some will like how that looks. I'm not an aesthetic dictator

That said, I'm researching more image friendly sharpening that I should be able to put in future builds

for today.. I am dumping to my esata external drive and making backups to blair's firewire800 raid.

Graeme, I really like lightrooms highlight recovery slider, as it allows you to use the exposure slider for general gain, then use the recovery slider for specular recovery to avoid harsh digital clipping.
have you experimented with highligt recovery algorithms, not to recover sensor overexposure but to gently re introduce upper highlights lost to clipping in post gain.
You can do it with a curve, but its just so damn hard to edit..

yes! one of my favorite software tools ever! Lightroom is a great reference all around. I also love the Fill Light feature....

 

[Mike Prevette]

I second the Lightroom reference. The way it handles highlight and shadow recovery is amazing. I use it on almost every shoot, and it has the bonus feature of showing you it's mask when you hold the option key down. I was so shocked when I learned to use it properly.

Me too! Can someone upload redalert and some raw files?

Currently only 4K 2:1 (4096 x 2048) at 23.976, 24.00, 25.00, 29.97 & 30.00 fps (not entirely sure about the last two)

Thanks Rob, were you there for D day ?

See you at IBC next week right ?!
