Sounds good Chris. I will definitely attend this show as I think many other will since this will be the first of it's kind. What's the next step? Doug, can you set this up please?

I'm not familiar with CLUT in PS6 so I'll need to Google it but anything that makes this possibly sounds good to me.

Thanks for stepping up to the plate Chris And BTW, I bought your book, just arrived yesterday.

And BTW, there's a HUGE thread over at Model Mayhem where grading is discussed, especially revolving over the Gucci ads and how they get those dark blue/teal sky tones along with the skin tones.... It's a long thread with many people trying to dissect it by showing saturation maps and all other sorts of things. Then you have everyone trying their techniques on there own images and most don't even come close to it. I think that as soon as all these people hear that there will be a live show on this they will all sign up on the spot!



Here are some threads on MM:

Photoshop CS6 will have more tools to emulate cross processing. This will make creating the "look" you are talking about much simpler.

If someone owns copyright to a model-released image they think would make for a good show on this topic with Chris, email me a thumbnail to dnelson at this domain.

if someone can post an example here of what to look for I can search my shoots what I have got for this show, all my images are modelreleased

[RobertGarcia]

Yes, great idea. Sign me up would love to see Chris work on color grading an image(s).

Any news on this ? Really looking forward to another Liveshow from Chris... does that sound ok..?

[capice]

As I talked to Doug, there is enough interest for this to do a Livesession on colorgrading.
What we need is an modelreleased image, free from copyright or copyrightowned by a member here to use for the show.
So if any of you can provide such an image we can put this show on the road.

Explain the term "color grading"...this is new to me...

[RobertGarcia]

I usually have heard it called it "Color Treatment" or the "Look". Color grading is something from the internet I think but means the same. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Colour grading is quite a common term. In the video world there are colour graders who specifically do that.

I look forward to watching the show. Any news on a date?

Thanks

what exactly do they do when they "color grade"?

[RobertGarcia]

From the last response: In the video world it's called color grading. In the retouching world it's called color treatment or the look, i.e. cross process.

What we need is a few examples and an image free of any rights, Chris is willing to do a showas he said before...so anyone who can provide an image to work on?
