Color Grading Demystified

Log, LUTs & the filmic look - without the guesswork.

Flat, grey footage isn't broken - it's waiting to be graded. This 22-page guide separates color correction from color grading and walks you through both: reading scopes, fixing exposure and white balance, understanding log and LUTs (and why a LUT alone fails), the primary grade, protecting skin tones, selective color and power windows, matching shots across a scene, and exporting in Rec.709 so it doesn't look washed out after upload. Built around DaVinci Resolve (free) with Premiere notes. Instant PDF download.
