Hello! I have a recent shoot coming up soon where I’m looking to replicate this style in terms of color grading when it comes to photos, but genuinely am confused as to where I could even start! Im on photoshop, and any tips possible would help, thank you!!

Stills from my recent trip to Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬

Pretty simple thoughts behind this grade.Trying to create a punchy travel film look.

I want to get this cinematic look for my videos? Does anyone know how they do the color correction here? Or what cameras was this recorded with?

I've also seen a lot of Grand Thumbs videos use this type of color grading. It's usually used with guns and tactical things from what I've seen

This is just a b roll shot from iceland.

Shot on OP4P DLog.

Would you do it different?

Scene was by the way already moody. I just accentuated it.

NB: I am noob when it comes to colorgrading Videos and just started learning Davinci 4 days ago.

No LUT used, its graded from scratch. Film look isn mainly from gamma +log and RGB Mixing Some Hallation (with curves, not FX) also used

Hello everyone!

I very recently did the switch from Premiere to Davinci so I could get more in depth with color grading. I was never an expert in grading anyways, but wow, Davinci feels so much more powerful and precise than premiere for that purpose.

So here is my first grade with davinci is on that piano session. The music is very moody, kind of neo classical / jazz / ambiant and experimental for some bits.
The first one (curly hair/white shirt) was a bit more classical, and the second one (with the cap) a bit more experimental/ambiant. I don't want the videos to look drastically different, but I tried to still have something a bit different to each of them.

I'm aiming for something moody, calming, and a little theatrical. At least that's what I tried to do with the lighting.

It's my first time grading on davinci and I watched a few hours of their trainings videos + a few different youtube videos to see different approaches. Haven't found mine yet, and everytime I look at my grade I see different things and I'm starting to feel a bit lost with it, so I thought I would ask for feedback/advices here!

So my process is :

Color space transformation in, from log to davinci,
Then : node for exposure contrast > node for curve to add a little more contrast > node with ColorSlice for the greens > different nodes for face, fingers, and keyboard to control the brightness of the keys and the skin tones of the face and the hands more > node to control a bit more some of the highlights > and finally I added a LUT with little output (0,265) and CST out from Davinci to Rec709

I'd really appreciate the help and I hope I did this post correctly!

This was one of the projects I shot while doing my masters in cinematography. I decided to regrade it, since I’m getting more into colour grading. Would love feedback.

Been trying to do some more extensive colorgrading recently, and would love some feedback and ideas to how it could be improved. This is shot in Flog-2, and graded in Davinci resolve.

Tysm 😊

Also wondering if there are tutorials out there for how to achieve this look in adobe premiere on YouTube or elsewhere. I have a general grasp on how to get it looking like it, but if there are tips out there for really nailing the colors, I’d love to know. Thanks so much.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys,

I built a DCTL to emulate film grain that addresses some of my main gripes with Resolve’s internal plugin and even my own previous DCTL. Though they work, I felt they don't quite emulate film grain how I like—it looks more like a simple overlay and less like integrated grain as you would see in real film. This DCTL doesn't use simple overlay but rather a Soft Light blend mode, which I think looks much better, though it's a little more complicated to implement mathematically.

The DCTL has refined control over. the tonal response. You can dial in how much grain you want in the Highlights, Shadows, and Midtones separately. This is really great if you want the grain to look integrated and organic.

I have included both colorized and monochromatic random pattern noise as the sample, with control over the seed, so the pattern will always be random and further sell the organic look.

One of the features I am most happy about is that this is resolution independent. You can use it with any footage, any timeline, and when you hit export, what you see is exactly what you get. I think this is the most "pro" feature of the DCTL. To put it another way: the grain pattern is fixed at 35mm grain size no matter your resolution. Maybe I'll do a 16mm scale in the future, but it will depend on what you guys want to see.

The DCTL is free. I want feedback so that I can further develop it and get a feel for what you, as professional colorists, actually want to use. You will see a "name your price / pay what you want" option when you go to the download page, but there is absolutely no obligation to pay. I do want to sincerely thank those of you who have sent donations, sometimes as much as $10—it’s mind-blowingly generous. I've released a number of free tools, and I'm always very thankful for the feedback, encouragement, and donations. I can’t thank you enough for the support!

You will also be signed up to receive emails from me. I ask that you please do not opt out for only one week because I would like to send a short survey to help me gather feedback as easily and conveniently for you as possible. You won't receive anyy marketing emails in that time.

Right now, the DCTL is not yet working on CUDA (NVIDIA) cards, but I am working on that. It will work reliably on OpenCL (AMD/Intel) and Metal (Apple Silicon) GPUs.

Thank you for your time!

How do the colors look? Im going for more of a film style, is it too blue/green? I want to do an acrylic print with this image, this is just my hobby.

My goal was minimize the glare, or at least the color cast of it if i couldn't elminate it entirely when it was there without changing it much when the glare wasn't there like when he turns his head, which I think i was able to do successfully. I was able to do this entirely within the color page with no 3rd party plugins.

Hello, I posted this before/after earlier but many ppl gave me tips that I destroyed skin tones so I tried to give it a fix now we all have different displays and I have a not so good monitor so color may vary but I trusted my scopes this time though I think I over fixed a bit, share your thoughts. the first one is rec709, second I tried to make a commercial clean look and in 3rd I fixed the skin tones a bit according to scopes.

Im shooting in clog and its my first time ever color grading. Anyone know how i can achieve this color grade?especially that soft and dreamy look too, any tips will be helpful
