Color Grading with the ACES Workflow
You can perform color grading using ACES, the color encoding system defined by the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences.
Color spaces:
ST2065-1: AP0 primaries, linear floating-point encoding.
ACEScc: AP1 primaries, log floating-point encoding.
ACEScct: AP1 primaries, log floating-point encoding. Differs
from ACEScc by adding a ‘toe’ to the encoding,
with a behavior resembling that of the Cineon
curve.
Input Transform: Refers to the table used for converting color
information of the input device to ST2065-1 color
space. It can be downloaded from Canon’s
website.
Output Transform: Refers to the table used for mapping ST2065-1
color space information to the specific color
information scheme used by the display device.
ASC-CDL: Refers to the list that contains color grading
adjustment data. This step requires equipment
compatible with ASC-CDL.
