Loved your LAB tutorial. So true, it shows color in different ways compared to our usual RGB color space. When stumped with some color balance, I have found, as you have, that LAB gives handles for balancing, for example, blue-versus-yellow (think of the yellow/blue axis on your color wheel). It offers some very pleasing options. Taking care though, that the LAB curves (used to enhance the CONTRAST of the COLOR as opposed to enhancing brightness contrast) can quickly over-shoot 100%. I think of it as the inverse of a log curve. But for color, not brightness. A little goes a long way. One Photoshop book on LAB color (Barnes and Noble) mentions that LAB is particularly good for some landscape shots which may appear with unexciting muted colors. Then LAB might help bring out, for example, the colors of flowers, and so on. As you showed, it can bring out yellow while leaving the green/magenta axis untouched! Cool. And this changes the yellow/blue color contrast but not the luminance contrast. Great video. Inspires more experimentation and a reminder that there are some unexpected ways out of the deep dark woods. CHEERS!
Hey Theo, I'm unfortunately getting the same green problem with the blue curve as the normal srgb/rec 709 space. What camera are you using and what are you project settings color wise?
@Miesner, I would change your thumbnail of the video. I didn't click on it the first time because it didn't seem like the grade was something I would like, but then watched the video later and really like this. You should make it a screengrab from the first footage you edited with the cowgirl. Also, I'm unfortunately getting the same green problem as the normal srgb/rec 709 space. What camera are you using and what are you project settings?
Neat tut bro! Would love to see some yuv stuff! I've looked everywhere for DaVinci specific colour space vids but there's not very many good ones. rip...
What are you doing at 0.36 sec? don't understand, how you creating several nodes. some... "right now test every one we a.. o [click with mouse or keyboard button]..why crue is..." not understand. For not english man not understand. repeat that piece (0.35-0.39) about 100 times, but so and not understand.. replay with low speed with all day)) nothing. Had People make lesson for himself?
Alt + y creates a splitter combiner node. It splits the source into its 3 component channels then combines them back together. If you look in the bottom left of the screen it shows what keys I'm pressing. Hope this helps, -Theo
@@Miesnermedia Thank you. My mistake - youtube can show subtitles, if set that option in youtube settings :) and I forgot about it. And, for all, your movie is better one, that a simple lessons about rgb colorcorrection strategy, but I've no idea how use quialifier not in hsl color space (as in Davinci resolve), but lab colorspace :) All we can assume correct video in lab colorspace, but select details we can only in hsl space. Perhaps, the splitting channels be trust us to select details in lab. The idea is to make quality masks :) In lab, but quality masks :) In luma, or in rgb we all can to make quality masks, but that masks very standards ones. A banal platitude with a simple contrast of lightness, or color. But how select colours in lab, but so that masks will be nice. quality :)
