Color Boost: Lets you naturalistically raise the saturation of regions of low saturation,
sometimes referred to as a vibrance operation. Can be used also to lower the
saturation of regions of low saturation. 0 is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through
+100 (very high).
Saturation: Adjusts the color intensity of the image. 0 is unity. The range is
–100(minimum) through +100 (very high).
Midtone Detail: When this parameter is raised, the contrast of regions of the imagewith
high edge detail is raised to increase the perception of image sharpness, sometimes
referred to as definition. When this parameter is lowered to a negative value, regions
of the image with low amounts of detail are softened while areas of high-detail are left
alone. 0 is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through +100(veryhigh).
Use Camera Metadata
The most elemental camera metadata settings for exposure and color that are available.
Exposure: Increases or lowers image lightness in units relative to ASA values. If your
intended exposure adjustment lifts image data above the maximum white level, don’t
worry; all image data is preserved and can be retrieved in subsequent adjustments.
+800 is unity. The range is +1 to +65,535.
Color Temp: Designed to alter the “warmth” of the image. Adjustable in degrees
Kelvin. Lower values correct for “warmer” lighting, while higher values correct for “cool”
lighting. +6500 is unity. The range is +2000 to +50,000.
Sony Media and SLog
Sonys proprietary SLog gamma setting, which produces flat-contrast, wide-gamut
image data that preserves image detail with a wide latitude for adjustment, is also
available on some other Sony cameras. Similarly to working with clips using the ARRI
ALEXA’s Log-C gamma, you need to normalize SLog clips by using Resolve Color
Management (RCM), by making a manual adjustment to color and contrast, or by
applying a LUT, using the same techniques discussed previously.
When applying a LUT, there are two methods that Sony recommends. A 1D LUT can be
used to transform SLog clips into the standard Cineon (or Log-C) curve if your ultimate
goal is to output Log media for film printing. If you’re planning to output to a normalized
format, you can use a dedicated LUT to make this transformation.
For more information, search the web for Sony’s document “SLog: A new LUT for
digital production mastering and interchange applications.
