Over in our series on working in LAB Colorspace, Greg offered to shoot me a test scene with a color chart (with a Blackmagic 4K camera). Special Thanks to MixingLight Member Greg Greenhaw! Then we need to test to see what the tool is actually doing.Īnd then, finally, we need to develop a workflow that bridges between our expectations of the tool and the reality of how it works (we’ll tackle this in the final part of this series).

What we need to do is more precisely define the problem that Automatic Color Match is trying to solve.

Automatic Color Match works if you use it properly…īut what’s the proper use of Automatic Color Match? The manual has a few things to say about it, but nothing that solves the problems that seem to be plaguing people. Then we’re going to help you figure out a workflow that is repeatable and workable. In this short series we’re going to first frame the problem: Why is the Automatic Color Match tool not working the way editors, DPs and colorists want it work?

If you don’t trust the tool, you stop using it In fact, many pros are finding it so frustrating they no longer trust the tool. The intertubes are littered with forum and blog posts of professionals who have been taking the Marketing copy at its word… and are finding it sorely lacking. What’s the problem? The problem is: Automatic Color Match rarely matches The promise is simple, shoot a color chart and have your Primary Corrections set with technical precision and all your different cameras matching each other. Simply use the chip grid to identify the color chip chart and Resolve will automatically balance the images, even if they were shot on different cameras, under different lighting conditions and with different color temperatures! In Resolve 11, Blackmagic released a heavily hyped new feature: Automatic Color Match.

Here’s how to determine if your display supports auto color management, and then turn it on if it does. Even on displays that only support 8-bit color, auto color management helps to improve color quality by using different techniques, such as dithering. With auto color management, apps can use billions of colors with 10-16 bits of precision. This provides extra detail and fewer color artifacts (for example, in gradients, shadows, and darker scenes or pictures). Auto color management in Windows 11 provides system-level color management to ensure that colors across Windows apps appear accurately and consistently on supported displays-whether the apps are color-managed or not.Īuto color management also helps new and updated apps render more colors with greater accuracy. Creative professionals and enthusiasts care about fully calibrated, accurate colors because it helps to make sure colors remain consistent from the beginning to the end of their projects.
