Hi Scott,
Thanks for your detailed answer.
My problem is not only that I don’t like how the picture gets rendered out of the box with ACES. The bigger problem is that one cannot grade it as usual.
ISO set to 1600, added a heavy green tint to make the problem obvious:
And ISO set to 1600, rotated the hue to a value of 62:
As you can see those clumpy colors are really behaving strangely. Imagine the clients wants the raspberries to be more pinkish (which was the case)… Without ACES those adjustments are no problem at all.
Meanwhile I had the problem again with an other project. Rear lights of a car shining into some faces. Unfortunately I am not allowed to share frames, but I was not really able to grade that image. As soon as I did some small adjustments the pictures started to fall into parts.
Again: Right now I don’t feel comfortable using ACES with RED Helium footage. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sönke
