Halation comparison between Resolve and Dehancer 

Halation still arises from backliight from the last layer of the anti halation layer behind the CMY layers. You show the difference very well and I totally agree that the Halation effect in DR is definitely very bad in comparison to other techniques. As always Stefan, great explained, on point 👍

Brilliant as usual, Stefan! In fact, your implementation looks the most natural of the three. I do wish somebody would address the fundamental flaw in each one of these implementations, which is that not all film stocks are composed of the "standard" RGB stack shown in the educational diagrams we've all seen. Many stocks had additional narrow bandwidth layers of blue, green, cyan, or whatever combination, or the orders were inverted, so instead of RGB, the stocks were layered as RGBG, RGCB, RGBCM, etc.. The reason this interests me is that I hate the look of contemporary film stocks. I find them ugly. But I love the look of film stocks from the 70's, which never had orange or red halation, but always had strong blue or magenta halation, for the example in The Godfather, The Exorcist, etc. And because the halation is a long gradient, this tint essentially runs way into the midtones, giving these stocks their distinctive look. I understand that not many guys are interested in this vintage look; everybody wants either the Vision3 look or worse the Alexa look, both of which I find absolutely disgusting aesthetically, but if somebody could tackle the challenge of emulating Eastman 5254 / 7254, or Eastman 5247 / 7247, or Kodak Ektachrome (the slide version not the negative version) or any other vintage stock, I'd pay major money for it. But I digress. Keep up the fantastic work Stefan! Every time you put out a video I immediately stop what I'm doing and watch.

thank you so much !

Thank you for such an interesting video! We're also excited to announce that today we released our first iOS app for photo editing. Go check it our guys 😉

Interesting. I usually think of halation in terms of the lens, not in post. Is this footage you shot or from a film?

Plan to invest in your mononodes plugins ❤❤❤.

Is there a tutorial somewhere for your halation node tree?

👍👍👍👍❤❤

All halations are attention grabber in a bad way.
