Red Star on Cyan (part 4)
One image – four blog posts and one and a half years later. I think I can finish looking at this image for a while now. I finished part four of a series of blog post that I thought would fit into one post initially. But the deeper I peeked into the issues with this…

Blender 3.2 update
Blender 3.2 is out and has a lot of new features. One of them is the color space override in the Scene/Output section. This was a good opportunity to test out a little scene that I have set up. So you could view the left image in Blender … …but actually render out the right…

2022 – new section and new articles on the horizon
Happy new 2022! In my WordPress site I have several topics that I started in 2021 but I was not able to finish. I am looking forward to present them hopefully in the near future. The new topics are not directly related to ACES, that’s why I created a new section called “Exploring HDR displays”…

Photoshop & ACES
Photoshop and ACES are not easy to bring together. Photoshop is a display referred tool while the ACES framework uses a scene referred approach. On many projects I am using Photoshop for retouch and cleanup work of still images while the comp is happening in ACES with Nuke or Flame. A convenient way is to…

Resolve Studio HDR tests
Why can’t I see a proper HDR preview on an iMac2020/MBP2018 UI screen? In FCPX this is possible. For some time now I am testing with HDR content in FCPX and Resolve Studio. FCPX works best for me with Alexa LogC material in HDR/WideGamut projects. In Resolve I set the project to ACES 1.1 and…
