The power of REDCODE raw - Post your image versions

[bradvr]

I am fascinated by the various color correction and experimentation with the images shot this week with our camera (Ripley) and thought it would be fun to put all the versions in a single gallery for reference. Check it out here:

You can post your images in this thread and I will incorporate them into the web gallery or you can post them directly into the gallery.

Here is a link http://www.mediafire.com/?cdjnc1dnmny to download a 41MB still image from the RED camera for those of you who may want try your hand at additional choices. I encourage all to give it a shot and upload your results to the web gallery. Enjoy! BH

PS: I credited the RED Users that I poached the images from and if you want your images removed just PM me.

Here is a 2K version I did in Photoshop.

I posted it before but then deleted. Photoshop isn't very useful for more then 1 image at a time. The Alien Skin "Exposure" plugin is fun to play with though. Works well for making images look like film. I forget which stock I used but I wanted to make it "warm" feeling with some added grain.

The split screen capture says it all! Nice. BH

I like the idea of this test, so I decided to limit myself to a single tool to see what I could accomplish quickly.
Using only curves, and limiting myself to only a single inflection point (I used one in RGB, one in Red and one in Blue), this is my result saved as a 1k .jpg file.
There is clearly so much that can be done and with just a minimum of effort a large array of looks can be achieved.

Here's my take, fiery.... :)

Full size version you can upload to your gallery (12MB PNG file, sRGB space):

Hope you like it!

Paul, that looks amazing! I think that this is my favorite take on this still yet. Sanjin had some nice cc's of it the other day but this one just looks like a very high end film shot. It is pretty much radiating heat!

Ok, let's have some fun :biggrin:

Only playing with the RGB curves, saturation and some grain.

Some more...

"The power of REDCODE raw - Post your image versions" would be a more appropriate title if there was access to REDCODE raw and REDALERT or other software so we could post our image versions...

Thanks Proteus.

Finally a right opinion about all those mess.

What you can’t take it on faith and a deep belief that images here are truthful to reds output?

[David Battistella]

How about this....

its hard not too "fry a egg"

It is my understanding that we are not allowed to distribute Red Alert and Red Code Raw is not readable without it. We will investigate and see if there is a way to provide the Red Code Raw and a path to review. Stay tuned. BH

A pastel look. Pushing up against noise and compression though. Consider how saturated the original is not. Then imagine what you could do here with a lighter touch and already saturated backgrounds!

Moving in a different direction. I'd love to see this in motion.

I updated the galleries to make it convenient for comparing images. Check it out: http://gallery.mac.com/videoresources#100050

[Jack Lafrost]

visceralpsyche, excellent work. i like your style.

CraigFPG, absolutely beautiful. Would you please do another version(s) of the photo? Please add some chiaroscuro - less than visceralpsyche's version, but with the same color warmth as your original take. Thanks!

Slinnn, thanks for the prolific offerings. Would you try doing a handful of versions in visceralpsyche's style, and also a handful of versions in CraigFPG's style? That'd be cool to see.

[Ross Birkbeck]

This is fun. :innocent:

here's mine

[Sanjin Jukic]

Very good.

Brandon is well understanding light.

[Nils Ruinet]

Here are some more tests.
Different styles...
