Digital Color Management: From Basics to ACES - Wednesday 2:15 - 4:15
The course will begin with a brief introduction to ACES, the Academy Color Encoding System developed by the Science and Technology Council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for digital color management in motion picture and television production. Descriptions and illustrations of the fundamental concepts of color management paradigms, system architectures, and digital color encoding methods will then be described. Practical applications will be shown to illustrate how these fundamental concepts have been successfully employed on various color-managed system. Finally, in the second half of the tutorial, the ACES system itself will be described and explained. Topics will include how color is uniquely represented throughout the ACES system, how ACES images are created and digitally encoded from highly disparate types of input media and devices, how ACES images are used in post-production, image interchange, and image archiving, and how they are transformed for display applications including motion picture and television viewing.
