Questions about the plugin usage process

[shunyj]

Hello, thank you very much for your support of the plugin.
If my photos are already positive, how can I use these plug-ins scientifically? The image is linear gamma.
Looking forward to your reply

Hey Shunky, thanks for using the project 👍
You can still experiment with Cineon in the same way you do in Resolve. Try using the Color Transform node in Resolve to map Linear gamma to Cineon including tone mapping, the same way PD-Transform.dctl is compressing values. Once your data is mapped to a logarithmic representation, you can use various PD-* tools for adjustments or the built-in tools directly in Resolve. The PD-* DCTLs can sometimes be redundant with existing functionality in Resolve.

I must admit that, despite the heavy use of math, it’s not entirely scientific. Film processing is always somewhat unpredictable, yet it retains the beauty of the organic and artistic nature of film development.
