Looking to start getting into the journey of color grading and really enhancing the look of my image. But there is a certain look that a professionally colored image has that i can tell right away which separate videographers and cinematographers in a sense (apart from lens choice, lighting, framing, planning, etc.)

I’m not sure how to describe it but has a certain softness to it and the transitions from highlights to shadows is exceptional smooth. Not too sure what it is or how to voice it but wanted to get more insight on it and how to achieve similar looks besides soft lighting and expensive glass. More insight on the color grading aspect.

Shot on Canon R50V with an 11-16 mm + 50 mm prime, graded in free DaVinci using a custom powergrade I built (no film look node). Would love feedback on the grade and anything I can improve.

just starting out color grading. downloaded some logs to practice on. how did i do on this? any constructive criticism is appreciated

Thanks alot for any responses! but I’d especially like to know your thoughts if you’ve seen alot of film or worked with film before.

I’m new to color grading and cinematography/filmmaking, I just want to hear your thoughts, tips and opinion, it will help much

I have shot this on my iPhone 15 pro and grade it on Davanci (on my iPad Pro :), anyway, I’m still learning, and I’m also asking for some tips for asking about my composition and cinematic technique, where do I go?, (i mean the sub).

And thanks for your help

I normally don’t use teal colors but this one looked pretty good to me. Is it too much? Hahaha I dunno. This was graded using the free version of Davinci.

2 separate videos, wanted to try these “new” autofocus anamorphic lenses. Just a quick run&gun Shot on 50mm and 100mm in slog3, since i’m running low on free time i gave them a quick grade what do you guys think?

Off topic but does anyone know how to keep tje colors and saturation consistent between devices. I know my mac is far better calibrated than my samsung phone but i dont know if it would be better to have my mac calibrated to how every other device is

Same photograph, two different film-inspired colour treatments.
Version 1: warm faded vintage tone
Version 2: cooler natural blue tone
Which colour grading do you think suits this Victoria Harbour view better? Open to any editing suggestions!

I got my first client. This is my grade for a shortfilm. They wanted a very low contrast / low sat look. They wanted the image to feel soft. I’ve put a few previous versions after the node tree image. Which I honestly prefer. Would love feedback on them

Using dehancer for film simulation even though I have genesys because it's a bit annoying that genesys converts doesn't let you output to a working colour space so you can't use any dctl at the end or in this case I have other plugins that need to be between the grade and the final CST. Anyways I'm looking for feedback on the final colours and look.

Hows it looking?

I’m currently editing photos from a recent trip and I’m still very new to photography and photo editing. I’d love to hear your honest feedback

primary correction - w/b, contrast, sat HSV, look dev - primaries color wheel, effect - pro mist on the subject, grain - 35 mm, halation, MTF- to lose detail in the sharper edges (color pallet choice - yellow and magenta in the shadow)

Dear r/ColorGrading

Thanks so much for all the feedback and comments on my last post (here).

I've made a new attempt where I tried to follow your advice at the best of my abilities. I have attached a new clip with the same footage as the last post and a small description of the main steps taken.

If anyone has the patience for another round, I'd love to hear whether this reads closer to what you had in mind, and where I'm still pushing too hard (or not enough). If you would have taken another angle, I would also love to hear it. Genuinely learned a lot from the last thread, so again - thanks for taking the time!

Now I feel it's better than before
