Re: Hey! I have an idea!

[becker] "Why dont we rename this forum to:
Apple color : for highly experienced, wealthy, colorists only - no newbies allowed."

There is a price to be paid for doing color grading the right way. Color is a very precise, professional application. As noted above, the original post was regarding LCD displays and you can't do true grading with LCD.



[becker] "If you dont wanna give advice on how achieving something as well as possible, with the budget that the one asking the question has, why have this forum open to the public?"

I believe we have all answered the question. There comes a point where price does matter when choosing a quality color grading display. We give professional answers on these forums. It's not always what you want to hear.

[becker] "A lot of young boys and girls wanna learn - let them learn, as well as they can on substandard equipment, until they can afford the high-end stuff."

They can learn all they want, but if you grade on substandard equipment and then try to show your wares to a professional house to get a job, you might end up looking a little silly. Yes, play with it all you want and learn it, but without a proper grading monitor, you can never be completely sure of your results.
