Color Science

  • “General look of the camera”
  • The native coloring of images in a camera
  • This is why a image from a Sony camera looks very different from a Fujifilm, despite having the same exact settings

Color Profile

  • “Built-In color effects”
  • Each camera manufacturer is going to add their own set of color profiles
  • Types,
    • Standard
      • A true to life look
    • Log
      • For more flexibility in post production
      • More dynamic range (more data)

Color Space

  • Range of colors that can be captured/reproduced by different devices
  • It’s important to know where the final image is going to be showcased to ensure the appropriate color space
    • For example, AdobeRGB can capture a wider color range than sRGB but most displays and devices can only show sRGB
