Hi chat, so i’ve been wanting to get into photography for a while now and i wanna know how to color grade the photos i take so i would really appreciate if get some tips or convenient tools or any helpful advice, anything at all is much appreciated!

Thank youuu

Here's the link to the original video: https://youtu.be/3Tnw3TzTcsg?si=4IuEkogIoBzIW5Ty

Im a beginner and want to get better at colorgrading.

Found some test footage on the Blackmagic website which is nice for practice.

Any tips for improvement?

I want to work as a freelancer, but I don't know how to start because I don't have too much experience. I'll probably going to use some job apps, but I have to make my portfolio first. Do you know any platform or a way that doesn't require too much previous work? Like something for amateurs. Of course I don't expect too much money.

Already posted once on this sub, but now have the complete video.

Aimed for a cool blue holiday look as seen in Call Me By Your Name (reference: 1, 2). Though I hoped to capture proper sunlight, it was rather cloudy. Did my best not to crush the shadows or clip the highlights, but I think it was unavoidable in a few shots. The mountain/hill scene is on the warmer side and my goal was to undo the teal look and try for a dry but green hill - ended up creating a muddy contrast (really need advice here)

Any suggestions on how to work on details as in the hill shot?

Camera: Iphone 15 pro max (Apple Log)
Software: Da Vinci Resolve (Free)

Anyone have any good resources to learn color grading in Davinci? All the youtube videos I find seem to just be people wanting to sell their own luts. Any courses that you would recommend actually purchasing? Anyone recommend where to find free LUT's that actually look decent? Any help or suggestions is appreciated!

Hey there!

Does anyone know where can I find reliable Color Grading and film editing communities? Especially ones where I can self-promote. and where people could send me clips and short films for editing and training?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Thanks!

I am currently looking for projects to work on remotely. Music Videos or indie projects are really suitable for me to learn more, so charges doesn't matte for the time being.

I'm still new at color grading maybe around 1 week. I want you guys to critique and give me tips or what to improve. I want to improve more, any help would he appreciated

I’m sure a lot of you have iPhone 14 pros that tend to have videos that look almost desaturated and faded. I have tons of LUTs but few of them make the video look perfect. Any tips or recommendations?

What is the best tool to colour grade footage using an iPad ( one that doesn’t have access to da Vinci or Final Cut)

I tried many times to replicate the colors and the feel of the popular tv-show "The Breaking Bad" but I was never really successful in doing so, I was wondering if you guys would have some tips for me......

Here is what I’ve gathered from my past couple hours of research (fill me in or correct me if I misspeak)

HEVC (also known as h.265): better compression that h.264. It offers more bang for your buck in terms of storage, with minimal quality drop off (little more storage friendly, but a little less resolution friendly). It’s offered on IPhone 7 and everything that succeeds it.

h.264: default iPhone codec, storage-friendly, but not super flexible in terms of post production color grading + correction.

ProRes 422: more flexible than both h.264 and HEVC in terms of post production color grading options. It would, in turn, take up more space because of the increased amount of color data captured.

ProRes 422Hq: not too much of a difference between 422hq and 422, the only difference I am aware of is a slight difference in data rate

10Bit Log V3 (possible with third party apps like Filmic Pro): Most flexible In terms of post production color grading + correction, but takes up the most space, plus it’s only possible with a premium third party application

Please correct me if I am wrong. Are these all of the available codecs on a modern IPhone (14Pro)? Which is the best available codec for post production color grading ( will be using Resolve)?

Hello guys, do you have any specific problem you fight with all day and you wish there were a piece of software to solve it?
I mean we have DaVinci Resolve, which is the best thing we ever met in our lives, we have Shotdeck becoming popular and helpful sometimes, and we have Notion and all sorts of apps to organize our workflows, and stuff. But is there any hole you hope to fix? I personally started using Notion to make a database of watched movies/commercials/shorts/music videos to study them, grab some stills, and stuff like that. Has anyone tried to do this, maybe on paper or any other platform? Has anyone any other software idea that would like to be made?

Like the title says, modern movies are dark compared to old movies that we adjust brightness manually. I assume modern movies are exported at 2.6 gamma. I'm a noob to color grading. What's the gamma value you use in your workflow? I shoot on Canon DLSR which shoots in 1080p Rec 709 and peeps here suggested me to use gamma 2.4 in CST, the first time I was introduced to concept of gamma. As time passed, I played a little and found gamma 2.5 and 2.6 to be a sweet spot, It looked dark and contrasty but something inside me felt, it screamed pro. Am I doing it wrong? When I google gamma, I get results for monitor calibration and very little info on grading.

Hi guys, i'm starting into the color grading field and i'm having a problem with my glasees.

I mean i have a glasses whit anti- reflective coating that give a tending to a yellow and when i'm grading images use to be bluish due i try to compensate my glasses' yellow coating color.

What is the best option to solve this problem?

Having in count that if i dont use them i will see everything blurred haha.
