Timothy Fransky Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I'd like to know how the more expert super 8 filmmakers among you colour correct your film scans. Do you use colour charts when shooting? Why or why not? I have a bunch of off-the-wall scans of my family's home movies from the 70s-late 80s. I've been using them to practice correction/grading. They're all K40, which has no doubt faded over the years. I've noticed that the whites are extremely strong, nearly overpowering. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PH8-xRVxC-34x7z0XGNXLAL8NpHT1GFZ/view?usp=sharing I had a bash at colour correcting in Lightworks 14 free, since Resolve doesn't cooperate with Win 10. I'm aware these scans are SD and there's a fair amount of digital noise. They're just family films, so we didn't feel a full 2k scan was necessary. I would like to get them looking as good as possible given these parameters. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
