[Rick Darge]

What lens? ISO?

On my monitor it looks very magenta, very very magenta.

Good stuff.

No a Mac but really old, could be my monitor. However the girl is very cute

Great shot - thanks for sharing.

Kiwi recently, but that look hails from the Celts :-)

[Jannard]

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

Funny you should say that, thats what I always used to shoot on.

[Rick Darge]

That overly chunky pixelated green background, is that a result of JPEG compression? Can you post a 4k tiff ?

[Rich Schaefer]

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,
Rich

[Jaime Vallés]

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.

[Häakon]

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?

[Jarred Land]

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.

Hmm.. you took some blue out.. yet the white shoulder strap on "our" right has gotten more blue :-/ What did you use? Levels?

Jarred,

I totally understand - I run my own site (nothing to do with filmmaking) and I have to deal with the same issues. Fortunately, over there people aren't pixel peeping so it doesn't matter much.

My comment was not so much a critique of the way reduser operates as it was a general message to those who would look at an "attached" image and make quality judgements from it. I almost think that if you have to force heavy compression to all image uploads to keep server space down, you might want to just get rid of the feature and require external linking - too many people view those images and think they are indicative of RED's native image quality.

That being said, isn't Jim covering the costs of REDUser yet?? :tongue:

[Jarred Land]

reduser is a Jarred project :)

[Häakon]

Roger that. :-)

[Frank Mirbach]

Looks nice !

[Emmanuel Cambier]

We need a tiff of this little girl… badly, I wish I had a way to host it for you.

I just used Channel Mixer to pull out some blue quickly.

That part of her that is in the sun is fine, in the shade carries more blue. Just a "quickie". Sorry to have stepped in the middle of this shot. Not my place really.

[Emmanuel Cambier]

Right…
The things we have to put up with, on this board:)
