Of course we need standards in grading, I’m not arguing against that.

What we need are output transforms that more accurately reflect viewing conditions.

On my domestic set I have 2 calibrated options for day or night, for Dolby I have bright and dark.

I simply think we should have a few more options including “bloody bright” 😊

Also, it’s all very well having a domestic monitor in a grading suite but if the suite isn’t lit to domestic levels then it’s pointless.

I think we’ve found next Wednesdays discussion topic!
