Nice examples. Thanks Pekka ! Does any of your LMT fix the problematic areas in this image ?
This is where I am at with my own LMT:
I am not satisfied yet but I am slowly getting there… It would be nice if you could run some of the most “problematic” examples (blue bar, red xmas…) through your best LMTs.
Here is what I am especially paying attention to:
- Lack of smoothness in the reds (there is like a line from a clip possibly ?)
- Lack of purity attenuation in the yellows (probably breaking g0 threshold)
- Problematic area in the blues (weird hue shits and harsh line)
I have looked at this image a lot in the past months. I don´t know how it was generated but it has been very helpful to evaluate things (I call it the “wavelength” image).
What I am really interested in is a LMT that covers most of these scenarios rather than relying on per-shot fix/grading.
Below are some screenshots of more examples. This one is a close-up of the dragon scene from Liam Collod. It concentrates many issues in one sample.
If you look really carefully, you will the same patterns than the “wavelength” image:
- Red line across the red sphere
- Harsh transition on the blue sphere
- And if you look really carefully, I believe you will see the same issue that Toodee “discovered” around the reflection of the red sphere in the blue one.
You can see like a blue outline “flip” as exposure increases. I cannot believe I did not spot that in the past two years. It was right in front of my eyes.
Best,
Chris
