Color 1.5 "Still Store" Bug ?

	Re: Color 1.5 "Still Store" Bug ? by Darin Wooldridge on Aug 22, 2009 at 11:33:30 pm I am using color 1.5 the wave panel. I have no issue taking and displaying stills via the panel or mouse. My big issue is the gamma change on the still when looking at the scopes. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

Something like Still.23 Aug 2009 02.18.45PDT.sri I think the stills follow the default project directory. It is on the setup user prefs page. Fill out all the directory paths then start a new session. If it "still" lol wont work try creating a new user and see if it works. This will start clean with no preferences to cause issues. The gamma issue is there look harder. It is really bad when working with 2k dpx frames. Darin Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

Also if you're using ADOBE RGB change that back to the native color setting of the display. Now open Color save a still and everything should be fine. You'll still notice a slight shift in the scopes but the image should match and the weird thing is on Color's scopes I see the shift I don't see it on my external scopes. So the moral of the story is leave your monitor set to 1.8 gamma and standard color settings, its ok to use monitor to adjust contrast and color just don't use display prefs Robbie Carman ---------------- Colorist and Author Check out my new Books Video Made on a Mac (http://bit.ly/5fwxM) Apple Pro Training Series DVDSP (http://bit.ly/3B2uS7) Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Color 1.5 "Still Store" Bug ? by Parke Gregg on Aug 24, 2009 at 7:54:28 pm Switching the (computer) monitor profiles did improve the still store "color" for me via a Kona 3 and video monitor, but there is still a slight shift. Before, it was a drastic shift. Now it is in the ballpark but not exact. But this fix might even be more alarming, because, like said in an earlier post, the internal scopes continue to adjust drastically while the image being output adjusts ever so slightly (when displaying a still). This is really bad news for three reasons... 1) From my perspective, there should not be any visual/functional connection between OS X's monitor profile settings, Color, and a video signal sent out an AJA Kona card. Apparently there is... doesn't seem good. 2) The still store is not accurate, which makes it virtually useless. This seems like a MAJOR new bug to me. 3) There is a disconnect between what my video monitor and external scope is showing and what the internal scopes are showing. This is very bothersome. I feel there needs to be significant outcry from us, because this is a new bug in 1.5 and needs to be fixed quickly. -Parke -------Stuck On On-------- Audio and Video Post Production Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Color 1.5 "Still Store" Bug ? by Darin Wooldridge on Aug 24, 2009 at 8:00:06 pm My image does match, its my scopes that have the gamma shift. Huge depending on the file type. I am reluctant to change my gamma settings because I scoped my monitors for rec709 using calibration software/ hardware creating a custom set up. Where is this gamma settings tab anyway. I may give it a shot and see if it changes my look. My tests are telling me it is an issue with different codecs and based on my readings more than a few people are having issues with it. I have sent mac several test images and am awaiting a response. Another huge issue is round trip back into fcp from color. Shift in color and gamma once again depending on file type and mixed materials. Thanks for the response. More to come. Darin Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

" Of course you wouldn't change your reference monitor I wasn't suggesting changing anything about that calibration - that would be silly. It's purely a computer monitor thing with Gamma settings in the OS X calibration utility.
