thebrothersthre3 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Everything looks like shit on youtube tho, 4k uploads are a lot better though, even if you watch them in 720p, they almost look better than 1080p uploads in 1080p.

Or does that not make any sense? I’m very eager to see how good URSA mini footage would look with this. That could be done; granted it wouldn't be tailored to the sensor. I'd like to support it directly, and I think there may be some rental options that would make that feasible. GeorgeN and Sage 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he posted some code screenshot in the past where he fixed hue twists.

Sage Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Happy New Year! Alexa has a distinctive red (when LogC is paired up with the intended display primaries). It is a deep magenta red, and twists moreso approaching extreme saturation. This can look stunning. Other cameras may opt for the default of twisting towards orange with increasing saturation because Cmos red clips to yellow, and the gamut clipping is more coherent. For example, the Alexa has an especially messy extreme red clipping at tungsten WB. With Gen 4, this extreme red behavior is simulated. Here is P4Ka v Alexa in extreme gamut, with EC709 (P4K at bottom): Apart from desired hue twists, like Arri display gamut, hue twists when conforming color spaces via interpolation (in log etc) have generally been one of the main challenges in developing EC (to keep the true clean hue lines as they should twist). At many stages, I've coded the engine to preserve clean hue lines. Hue is perceptually salient in color, and has a privileged place in the engine today (whereas once upon a time, it was just 'one of three' in the engine) androidlad, Attila Bakos, majoraxis and 3 others 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart0less Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 And you've managed to squeeze all this magic into one (two, actually) simple LUT? Whoah. Sage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Another tricky thing is the hand-off from the measured space under a given light source (sunlight or halogen) to extreme gamut simulation. This is because extreme saturation is only achievable with color light sources (i.e. red leds etc.). This amounts to two different 'perceived' color spaces from the same sensor. The challenge is to preserve hue lines of the measured light source as they move into extreme gamut, while simulating the behavior of extreme gamut. Hence, extreme gamut cannot be an exact match - note the difference in cyan and yellow especially (though can be similar enough as to be perceptually equivalent) Attila Bakos and majoraxis 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
