Okay, enough with the name dropping, let’s start ! Yay ! The importance of terminology It is a welcoming community, who does not agree on everything and who has still a lot to figure out… Which is really exciting ! It is really heart-warming to have this group of people passionate about colour and display transforms who are able to debate online at midnight over sRGB or scene-referred grading. Thanks to them, I have discovered this amazing community of colour nerds and colour scientists, and I would like to personnally thank the following persons for their generosity, sharing and patience with my questions : ACES has been my entry point to Color Management and I will never be thankful enough for that. Please note that I will only talk about OCIOv1 configshere.įirst of all, I would like to thank the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) because without them, I would have probably never discovered this crazy wonderful world of Color Management. This is post is primarly about my own misconceptions, but hopefully it will help others too ! Probably ! But I was really interested to go back in time and write this historical analysis on OCIO and Display Transforms. Some people may find this post too obvious, boring or outdated. Not at all ! Huge respect to all the persons who more than ten years ago developed and shared these configs with the community.
Really the idea is to look back but NOT judge these historical OCIO configs. So I thought it would be interesting to compare various OCIO configs, with a series of visual examples in order to study their strength and flaws. It will give you the fundation to create beautiful images. There is a reason my book starts with two chapters about Color Management. So by writing this post, I hope I can share with you some useful information. Quite often, I have been lost on where to begin when it comes to OCIO and ACES. The only thing I can offer is an artist’s point of view on Color Management. We make mistakes, hopefully learn from them and keep going. We are only human beings, doing our best to understand things. With these slides online, I hope I can reach more people and raise awareness about certain topics.
If there is any inaccurracy, anyone can correct me and I’ll be more than happy to update this page.I thought it would be useful to put those slides online for two reasons : In the past year (2021), I have given several talks online about OCIO and the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES). I often think about this great question asked by Doug Walker at one of our OpenColorIO (OCIO) meetings : what are you trying to solve ? So in our case, what is this post about ? List of ACES movies and Output Transforms.Custom Display Rendering Primaries experiment.
