Understanding Color in Film, Video, and CGI

This seminar introduces the science behind image digitization, tone reproduction, and color reproduction in film, studio video, and computer generated imagery (CGI). We detail how nonlinear coding ("gamma") is used in each of these domains. We explain the color science that underlies each of these domains, and explain why one system's RGB does not necessarily match the RGB of another system. We detail how color is represented and processed as images are transferred among these domains. We explain color measurement instruments such as densitometers and colorimeters, and we explain monitor calibration. We will introduce color management technology.

Who should attend: This seminar is appropriate for people who are experienced in creating and manipulating color imagery, including technical directors and visual effects supervisors. It is also suitable for programmers and engineers.

Prerequisite: None.

Companion seminar: You might also be interested in the companion seminar the following day, Digital Video Technology.
