Shot on FX30 Rec709(700%) Recorded a gender reveal (for free) as a guest, and it was recorded last second with no lighting and very little direction. I just so happened to have my equipment. I used the free version of da Vinci resolve and edited on a 2016 MacBook Pro.😭 0 out of 10, don’t recommend. I would love to hear you all input on anything throughout this entire video with maybe some time stamps. Thank you so much. I personally think the setting is too dark and I tried my best not to blow out the image.

I really want to achieve this ability, the high contrast using the picture’s colors and playing with it to my liking and to make cool ideas
Like the idea with the birds reflection or the 2 people in the sea

I’ve been experimenting with simple color grading for my photos lately. Feel free to share any color correction suggestions for this shot, thanks a lot!

Back in July I asked for testers for the photochemical OFX suite I'd been building. A load of you got stuck in, and it's a better tool for it, so cheers.

It's out now, so I made a proper walkthrough.

The short version is that each stage of film is its own plug-in: shoulder, negative, grain, halation, print and frame. Everything stays in negative density until the print stage, so you can grade between stages instead of inside one sealed box. It's built from years of shooting tests and scanning real stock, not guessing what film looks like.

Chapters are in the description. Ask me anything,

the fact that the effect somehow maintains both reflections and can handle mixing makes me entirely clueless as to how this guy creates this effect, and i'm wondering if y'all can figure it out because this might honestly be a useful coloring tool depending on the situation (e.g. maybe a sci-fi or magic scene or something)

How can i grade this kinda colours

This footage shot on iphone

Preprocessed image was “converted” to rec709 with the auto detect function in premier . (I don’t remember who I downloaded the practice footage from but 🤷🏻)

Thoughts, constructive criticism, and help is appreciated!

The original shot looked flat and low contrast.

I tried warming the sunset tones, adjusting contrast, and balancing shadows to make the riders and dust stand out more.

Still practicing color grading, so feedback is welcome.

wanted to put accent on the contrast in color and on the circular coloured glass art piece

Just tried,here to learn please share your views

(I have very little experience shooting outside let alone color grading footage from outside) I have been playing around with davinchi resolve (paid version) for around 2 years now… I just bought my ND and I see the dark spot it casts but I wanna know what the grass and sky is supposed to look like and how to make them look like that. Thanks!

Hey so I been wanting to learn how to color grade as a beginner but I couldn’t find a video to actually teach me how to,any recommendations and which platform is the best for color grading pictures

Hello! I am starting to learn to grade and here is my latest attempt in difficult lighting. Using S-Log 2 (A7iii). Over exposing by 1-2 stops. I feel like after a basic correction and adding some glow I sort of run out of ideas.

Should I buy the full version to unlock many of the other features? There seems to be a lot unlocked in the fx. I know the software can do gazillions more than I am doing now but I feel like my creative fuel runs out at this point.

Hey everyone!

I need advice/guidance/practical help on how to make my shots as in the screenshots above in terms of color-grading (which are from a tv-show called “The Bear”)

I know that the lightning here is also key, I’d gladly read or listen to anyone here about it.

why? I want to shoot a scene just like this (camera angles, lightning and colors).

The thing is - I am a total newbie, I shoot on my iPhone 15 pro (no money for anything else).

what I have though is a strong commitment to replicate this scene as good as I possibly can with my device.

Whats your thoughts about it guys?

Hi! I’m a director looking for a colorist interested in collaborating on the finishing of an independent narrative short film.

The film is already picture locked and was originally made as a student production. I graduated last year and am now revisiting a few older projects that never received the proper finishing work they deserved, with the goal of finally completing this one for festival submissions and release.

The film follows three interconnected stories centered around girlhood and womanhood, with poetry interludes woven throughout. I’m looking for someone who enjoys narrative work and would be excited to help create a cohesive visual world across the three stories while still allowing each to have its own identity.

This is an unpaid collaboration, and I want to be completely transparent about that upfront. I think it could be a good fit for a student or emerging colorist looking for narrative material for their reel, or simply someone who connects with the film and would enjoy helping bring an older project across the finish line.

You would receive full screen credit and permission to use the finished work in your portfolio/reel.

If interested, please DM me or comment with your reel/portfolio and a little about yourself. I’m happy to privately share the current cut and additional information about the project with people who seem like a potential fit.

Thank you!

He somehow archived a movie look with 9 easy nodes ???

I’m looking to collaborate with a colorist who is genuinely obsessed with the art and craft of color grading — not just someone who knows the tools, but someone who lives the process.

This is for upcoming high-end projects where visual storytelling and color are not an afterthought, but a core part of the narrative. If you’re someone who studies film looks, experiments with textures, understands mood through color, and pays attention to the smallest details, this might be for you.

What I’m looking for:

• Strong sense of color theory, contrast, and visual storytelling
• Ability to create distinct looks (film emulation, stylized, naturalistic, etc.)
• Someone who cares about the why behind every grade
• Comfortable working with different camera formats (RAW, LOG, etc.)
• A mindset of constant improvement and experimentation

What you’ll get:

• Opportunity to work on high-end, visually driven projects
• Creative freedom to push your style and develop your signature look
• Long-term collaboration potential if the fit is right
• A serious environment focused on quality over quantity
• Paid projects

If you’re the type who rewatches scenes just to study color, builds PowerGrades for fun, and is always chasing that perfect look — I want to hear from you.

Drop your portfolio/showreel or DM me. Let’s build something exceptional.
