THX Color Management 101

Working in a modern production or postproduction environment requires knowledge about the issues and challenges related to color science in order to be effective and successful. Regardless of position in the production chain, color plays a major role in telling a powerful story. DoPs and colorists are very sensitive to these issues, but post supervisors, engineers and VFX and animation artists must also have a firm grasp on color for a seamless workflow. In order to use color correctly, it is critical to understand what is seen at every stage in the production process, regardless of the nature of display and viewing environment.

As Senior Color Scientist at THX, Michael Chenery has been teaching his popular color science classes worldwide world for the past 10 years. In this webinar, Michael will present the basics of color science to help attendees understand what the main challenges are and how to address them properly.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• What is “color management” and why is doing it correctly important to production?
• What are the common data structures used in color management?
• What does it mean to “profile” a display? What is the right way to use color profiles?
• What exactly is a Look Up Table (LUT)?
• What are the differences between 1D and 3D LUTs? When do I need a 3D LUT and when will a 1D LUT be adequate?
• What are the differences between 65 point, 33 and 17 point LUTs? Why are higher precision LUTs better? When is it OK to use lower precision LUTs?
