Dave and Tero, the both of you are cordially invited not to respond to my questions in the future since they seem to tie you up in self-righteous knots.

You know, I find it interesting that, a few months ago, I was asking how to get a cool look to a scene because when I added an adjustment layer and tinted it blue it just looked like I tinted everything blue, it didn’t give that cold look I was going for. And the answer I got from you guys was a link to an article about LUTs!!!!!
For your information I tweak and color correct and grade everything manually, THEN I’ll play with a LUT to try and get that elusive film look I (and most of you) are always after. I don’t slap a LUT on a flat out of camera file and hope for the best.
I’ve always been respectful towards you guys and mentioned many times how grateful I am that you “pro’s” are always willing to help, but the snarkiness of these last few comments I can DO WITHOUT!!! I’ve said many times I’m a 62 year old guy whose wife died 2 1/2 years ago, half blind and doing this for the fun of it. On top of that it wasn’t a LUT that caused my problem, it was saturation set at plus 5 for some reason.
Thanks for the backup, Ole.

Did I say I had all settings at -5? All I said was for some reason Saturation was set at PLUS 5. I’ve since adjusted it. Do you use that Kroll CineD LUT? How do you like it?
-
The LUT was made for the GH4 Cinelike D profile with specified settings. The other LUT as well (G7 to BM4K)
As for all that other stuff, I will remind you again that I’m just a goofball, goofing around with color grading. Also, as I pointed out, that horrendous orange/red shirt thing was caused by saturation, for some reason, being cranked to +5. Not by any improper LUTs. -
Sign me up. I’m always losing media.

Why? You won’t know until you slap it on, and you can always remove it. Plus that wasn’t the cause of the problem. I just checked my CineD settings and noticed that for some reason Saturation was set to +5, as in PLUS 5. Why, I don’t know. I’d never do it myself. Odd, that.

UPDATE: Well, here’s what I did. I added my old standby input LUT “G7 to BM4K” which flattens the video, THEN I added an adjustment layer and added this Noam Kroll CineD LUT there and it looks great.
Thanks for nothin’ ya bums!!! ????

Hey Dave,
The codec is 8 bit 4:2:0 h.264. Original footage was shot in C4K. The shirt IS that color, it’s the weird saturation and 480pish look to it that’s got me perplexed. As you can see the rest of the image is not oversaturated, and even though my skin shares some of the same color tones, it doesn’t display the same effect.This was shot yesterday. I’m in N.C. Wanna trade houses? I love the snow.

Hey Chris, no it was shot in CineD with all settings at -5. I added an input LUT for CineD with those settings from Noam Kroll which did a nice job on the skin tones but turned the shirt into what you see. No other grading.

My chops are well farted, thank you very much! ????
I always use lumetri. I’ve got a stack of plugins that I rarely touch anymore. Film Convert? Yuck! It destroys everything I apply it to. No, Sweden’s the name and Lumetri’s my game. I was just wondering why there was no specific midtone adjustment in the basic correction tab.
