Introducing Adobe SpeedGrade CS6
GPU-accelerated performance
The 64-bit Lumetri Deep Color Engine in SpeedGrade CS6 harnesses the processing power of the
GPU for optimum graphics performance. The result is real-time feedback while you grade your
footage, regardless of resolution or frame size. Resize and reframe your shots, and pan and scan, all
in real time, to create perfectly composed images for virtually any display format.
To maintain real-time performance SpeedGrade CS6 requires an Adobe-certified graphics card
with 1GB of VRAM, such as an NVIDIA Quadro 4000, 5000, or 6000 graphics card. For the most
up-to-date system specifications information, visit www.adobe.com/go/speedgrade_systemreqs.
Professionally designed looks, filters, and effects
SpeedGrade CS6 includes a selection of professionally designed .Looks,
film-style filters, and effects, a great addition to the application’s powerful
color adjustment tools.
The .Look presets in SpeedGrade CS6 provide a fast entry into the world of
advanced color grading. When you apply a preset to a shot, or a whole
project, all of the layers are displayed in the layer stack. This means you can
see exactly how the .Look was created, and fine-tune it for your project.
• Film-stylelters in SpeedGrade CS6 are emulations of chemical
processes traditionally used in developing lm stock. ese include
bleach bypass, day-for-night, Technicolor 2-strip, and Technicolor 3-strip.
• Eects allow you to modify the appearance of footage. SpeedGrade CS6
includes eects such as sharpen, blur, glow, and others.
• LUTs can be used for technical purposes, such as display calibration or
color space conversions. You can also use LUTs for creative purposes,
such as emulating lm stocks.
Putting the pieces together—Filters, effects, and LUTs can be combined
with primary and secondary corrections and masks to create .Looks. And
because .Looks can be applied to a clip or as grading tracks on the Timeline, you have incredible
control over how you build and craft each grade.
Add eects directly to
your layer stack in
SpeedGrade CS6.
Exporting .Looks as LUTs
SpeedGrade CS6 .Look les can be
exported as LUTs for use in other
applications. However, LUTs do not
include masks, or eects such as blur
or glow. If you are creating .Look les
for other applications, use primary and
secondary corrections. Use the other
functions for your creative work in
SpeedGrade CS6.
Eects, such as bleach bypass shown here, allow you to build distinctively styled looks for your projects.
