Re: Hey! I have an idea!

"Why can't we just all get along"... good question.


Those of us who have made a significant personal investment both in finances and perhaps a decade or more (much more in my case) of building experience are seeing our "dues" go down the toilet. Maybe that's just the nature of business. Too bad if it happened before anyone could defray the first wave of investment. The application for doing colour correction is being packaged with an editing suite at no extra charge -- so most consumers of the software assume that they shouldn't have to pay anything more for getting it right.

Anyone can go out and buy a Cherry Sunburst Gibson "Les Paul" and pretend they're Jimmy Page. Maybe I'm one of them... and if I don't charge anything for my time, no one will complain, right? But not much of a business model.

But really, the way things are going.... why bother sorting out whether anything will look good on broadcast? I wanna set up my $18,000 e-Cinema DCM23 so that it looks like a cel phone display!


But truly.... maybe a LUT is the way to go to re-define the values cross-platform... Ie LCD/CRT. Maybe that will be the only constructive thing I can offer today.
