This advanced workshop is both a comprehensive introduction to 3DLUT Creator, and a sophisticated yet surprisingly intuitive, and most importantly visually oriented image editing workflow. While supporting and harnessing the magic and power of our current editing tools, such as Adobe Photoshop, we also identify ‘their fatal flaws’. Then, through 3DLUT Creator we resolve their most pressing issues and pictorial conundrums, and thereby quickly evolve beyond their inherent limitations. Specific topics that are covered in this workshop include:
Why 3DLUT Creator?
• What is missing in ‘industry leading’ workflows?
• Photoshop et al SWOT analysis
• Global vs. Local – selections vs. masks vs. nodes
• Gamma encoding errors
• What are Look Up Tables (LUTs)?
• Workflow priorities – what do you need to achieve?
Colour Modeling
• Physics vs. Phsiology
• The Psychology of colour – appearance and sensation
• The Ontology of colour – meaning and interpretation
• Colour models vs. colour gamuts
• RGB vs. HSP vs. LAB colour models
• Colour editing vs. colour grading
3DLUT Creator Fundamentals
• RGB and Non-RGB tool sets
• Nodes – Selecting, pinning, moving, and resetting
• Grids – A/B (Hue & Saturation)
• Grids – C/L (Saturation & Brightness)
• Curves – Non-RGB (Luminosity, Saturation & Brightness)
• Curves – RGBW vs. CMYK vs. 2D (CMY)
3DLUT Creator RGB Workflows
• Importing Images and Exporting LUTs
• Choosing the most appropriate RGB colour gamut
• Choosing the most appropriate colour model
• Choosing the most appropriate tools
• Preserving white, grey and black balance
• Channels (Colour) vs. Volume (Tonal) compositions
3DLUT Creator Non-RGB Strategies
• Editing Brightness vs. Luminosity
• Editing Brightness independently of Hue and Saturation
• Editing Saturation independently of Brightness
• Editing Hue independently of Saturation
• Masking criteria and applications
• Matching reference colour palettes
3DLUT Creator Integration
• Workflow design – components and collaborations
• Adobe Lightroom – 3DLT Creator workflow
• Adobe Photoshop – 3DLUT Creator workflow
• Capture One – 3DLUT Creator workflow
• Affinity Photo – Neo Finder – 3DLUT Creator workflow
• The management and conservation of colour
Inquiry based learning is at the heart of this workshop. By first understanding pictures we distinguish what needs to be done from what can be done. This clarifies how our current editing applications help or hinder our process, what tools work as expected or don’t, and especially how 3DLUT Creator achieves so precisely and intuitively what other ‘industry leading’ software can’t. Such an approach quickly and efficiently solves real world imaging problems while also freeing up time, energy and focus that can be better devoted to other considerations. Video conferencing and our HD recordings facilitate a uniquely comprehensive yet individual learning experience where your artistic practice, knowledge and needs focus the inquiry, while your engagement and participation defines its outcomes.
The workshop is supported by a resource rich website with detailed course notes and videos.
