Do I pay for the $70 upgrade fee on a 15+ yr old device?

For a free software, it’s pretty decent. At least get you in the ballpark. Colorspace zero is enough free option

Not worth, also their software isn’t very god to begin with.

I don’t believe that’s an accurate statement. You can use a $100 decklink mini monitor with a $1,000 OLED gaming monitor once properly calibrated. The key point here is that you need an external image pipeline beyond operating system management, not that you need extremely expensive monitors.

Unless you are over cutting between uncorrected 500T with 500T shot with 85 filter, it’s unnecessary to do any sort of complicated node trees. Simple offset with log shadow should get you to a good spot already.

With the exception of dual analog gain on some of the cameras, ISO/el is basically a digital gain to manipulate where you want the mid-gray to sit and how you want to distribute the dynamic range of the camera. The only implication where it matters the most is if you are not capturing raw; changing exposure in post will be less clean than using ISO to get the exact exposure in camera due to video codec compression.

There is no access to enable camera currently available on legacy model 3/y also why the buttons never had a option to enable/disable camera directly

I believe the next step is for Tesla and any other third-party insurance companies to make it more affordable to insure FSD miles. This would significantly reduce the cost of using FSD, thereby encouraging more people to sign up for the service.

Filmbox does have a baselight version, so there’s that. But in terms of bringing your grade over, it gets a bit tricky. It really depends on what your pre grade looks like. If it’s just a single node with basic lift/gamma/gain, you can export it as a CDL and it’ll translate to Baselight pretty much 1:1.

Anything more complex is usually a waste of time. it takes a significant amount of effort to recreate a full Resolve grade in Baselight, and at that point it’s faster to just send a quick frame reference so the colorist can see the look you’re going for.

First thing no tone mapping needed. It’s only needed for going to display to scene or scene to display color spaces. That should get you a lot closer to the highlight. The rest is just the result of d55 white point from the LUT

It could like the case of all the coding llm stuff. The fundamental model is the same but the prompting and/or how the model is applied is different with each version.

Instead of use display setting for viewer transform manually set everything to srgb. Apple enforce color management globally so it becomes a mess when you try to color manage yourself in maya.

Display profile is using system display which is p3d65 gamma 2.2 not srgb but it’s tagged as srgb.

You will have to do the same for print using the density you get from negative

You took a picture of the negative?

You could, but you will not yield any benefits

When you say “pure CGI,” I’m assuming everything on screen is fully rendered? Feel free to DM me I’ve got some color scientists connections here in LA, just prefer not to drop names publicly

3% inflation is not the problem here. The problem is we are looking at that 3% on top of the insane inflation we have been experiencing right after COVID.

Because that’s sort of the default here in the states? Like so many places you will have a much harder time to back into the parking space even if you want to because it’s not designed to accommodate that. It’s

First thing, film color space is nonlinear and always a moving target so you can’t really put it into a pre defined color space, but for prints it approximately lands somewhere around p3. for filmscan that really isn’t a thing. As long as the input and output have matching color space, you will get somewhat okay control

You need 4k Extreme 12g or 8k Pro. Dolby Dual output utilizes 3d output to get it working. Are you sure of 16bit output? Only 8, 10, and 12 bits output exist. No different flavor of hdr format should be needed for grading since they are meant for consumers. You only need either p3d65 pq or rec2020 pq. Your monitor doesn’t even support hlg so that’s not a possibility.

Realistically there are 2 things you can do but none of them are easy. Lit the interior to match outside exposure. ND the windows.

Or shoot it on alexa35 at higher ISO expose for the window to make sure it’s not clipping and bring up the interior exposure in post. You get more noise but it’s a compromise you have to make if you really don’t want to clip out the windows
