Just got a sweet new Sekonic C-800-U. Very excited to get it to work. I was a little confused though about which of the many modes I should be using to get a +/- Green setting. The Green/Magenta shift I would punch into a SkyPanel or LiteMat Spectrum, for instance. There seems to be two modes in play here, CC# and CCi, as both give a reading in the 0.#G or 0.#M format, but the two numbers seem to be 0.4 off. I'm inclined to believe the CCi number, based on my eyes, but I'm really curious to know what each measuring mode is referring to and if I'm doing it right. The documentation online for the Spectromaster series is pretty weak. Any help you guys could give me would be appreciated! Thanks!

Looks like I found the answer to my own question: http://www.arridigital.com/forum/index.php?topic=6243.0 . ARRI Look Creator is coming in a week or so.

In the Alexa 4.0 firmware update, the documentation says there's a new feature called ARRI Look, where you can essentially add a look to your footage and apply it either Non-Destructively (to monitor output presumably) or Destructively (to what the camera records). The ARRI Look documentation (available here: http://www.arri.com/?eID=registration&file_uid=7695) says that one makes this ARRI Look file via the ARRI Look Creator. Sounds simple. But after scouring the interwebs, I can't find any such thing. The closest I could find was the ARRICUBE (http://www.arri.de/digital_intermediate_systems/arricube.html and http://luts.arri.de/digital/arri_cms/luts_down/prefluts/preview_luts.php). I don't know what ARRICUBE is, but I doesn't seem like the right thing. Where can I find this ARRI Look Creator? Anyone have any luck with this? Thanks!
