SMPTE – Case Studies for HDR versus SDR

Many creatives are concerned with large differences between color grading in SDR vs HDR. Even more of a challenge, the variety and frequency of HDR deliverable specs has increased in great numbers. However, we can be confident there is at least one other longstanding challenge present in even greater numbers: the viewing conditions in which end consumers in which will watch these deliverables. How can we, from photographers to colorists to VFX artists and all in the pipeline, make good creative decisions based on modifying the available dynamic range of our delivery target?

This webcast will discuss strategies for color correction in both SDR and HDR, and ideas for focusing on color decisions that will hold up across multiple color targets and viewing conditions, using case examples from the author’s experience with over 100 HDR titles.
