A technical breakdown of how ISO settings artificially shift your camera's dynamic range allocation. In this blog post we are going to cover the mechanics behind why high ISO is an exposure bias and how to effectively manipulate it to optimize the trade-off between highlight clipping and shadow noise.

This blog post explores the color science behind film emulation, comparing traditional chart-based workflows with a spectral simulation approach. By utilizing Spectral Sensitivity Functions (SSF) and Kodak datasheets, we can mathematically model how light interact with both digital sensors and photochemical film, creating a highly accurate and flexible foundation for emulation.

In this blog post I’m gonna show you some advanced workflows to create physically accurate grain assets and how to composite them onto images. The resulting grain will be organic and it will feel like it part of the image and not just a layer on top

In this blog post I want to show the differences in performance of 3 different color matching algorithms. The algorithms that are going to be compared are Cameramatch from Ethan-ou, MatchLight from LightIllusion, and ColourMatch.

In this post we’re gonna cover something really important when it comes to building a clean color pipeline. As Steve Yedlin showed cameras manufacturer apply matrices to the native space of the camera. Unfortunately these matrix are problematic when it comes to building a pipeline that doesn’t fall apart with saturated bright colors. In this post I’ll show how to calculate the inverse matrix to go back to camera native with any camera
