The Present and the Future of Digital Print Stock Design
In the July issue of The SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal, Los Angeles-based senior color scientist and image scientist Cullen Kelly takes an enlightening look at “Digital Print Stock Design: A Framework for the Post-Film Era.” Kelly notes that the craft of color grading is currently at a crossroads. Every captured image requires processing and creative adjustment before it can be reproduced. For most of cinema history, the defining factor in the post-production “look” of capture imagery was the print stock – engineered to impart preferred color characteristics while serving the technical function of transforming scene-referred imagery for display.
