Feature Request Color Temp/Tint sliders

[Blase Theodore]

Id be curious if those are actually implementable. Obviously in RED footage or a raw photo editing platform, you’re working with raw debayer info, and can actually interpret the data. Once its baked in though to a quicktime or frame, not sure how that would work. (Just like you can pick a color temp for a raw still in photoshop, but after that you can only tint it.)

[Illya Laney]

Color temp in regards to non-raw material is basically blue/orange bias and tint is usually magenta/green bias. If there’s no raw data involved, color temp values are arbitrary. Tint is useful when working with multicam Alexa footage because there always seems to be a green/magenta bias between the different cameras. If you want an approximation right now, the green curves can be used instead of a dedicated tint slider.

I’d say the new color mixers basically reproduce this functionality. Correct me if I’m wrong.

You’re not wrong. A color temperature control is basically a variable matrix.

[Mike Most]

To perform a color temperature operation, you can lower the amount of blue in the blue channel, and raise the amount of blue in the red channel to achieve a lower color temperature (i.e., more orange). Conversely, you can lower the amount of red in the red channel, and raise the amount of red in the blue channel to achieve a higher color temperature (i.e., more blue). To change tint, you can lower the amount of green in the green channel for more magenta, and raise it for more green.

I would love to have a RAW STILL editing mode in Resolve.
I want to grade my photographs as i do in lightroom but with DaVinci + Control Surface.
I can’t believe why nobody has done it 😛

Grading 25 MP RAW Photograps with a Color Grading Control Surface is a dream if you ask me.

I’ve converted my RAW files to TIFF’s and tried just that 🙂

It was a dream!

Thanks, I’ll try it with the new mixer tool. I didn’t thought of that…

I know that the temp/tint slider is normally used for raw files like r3d or canon cr2 files in lightroom but In Iridas Speedgrade I’ve used them all the time on non raw files either and they worked great…

You might get a sense of why from this thread from about 15 or so years ago…

Some techniques are protected by manufacturers… anyway, lots of sliders? You’d have loved the Dubner.

Ever wonder why the area isolation in COLOR was called “vignettes” when “power window” is a perfectly good term? How about “Kilovectors”?

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?
