Advanced Modes Filters. Crazy Idea? Or is it?

I have to admit ignorance on this and declare that I don’t even know if this has been done by anyone else or if it would be feasible but bear with me ( or be patient, I am not up to speed with all the cameras on the market!)

 

 

 

One of the problems of shooting landscapes is, more often than not, the fact that some shots do call for the use of some sort of graduated filter.

 

If you have ever used one you know that they are a pain in the (....................), write here whatever part of the body that it bothers you the most!

 

They can be expensive, clumsy, and often reveal themselves to be purple in pictures while they look grey when we buy them.

 

Rectangular filters need  more or less complicated and expensive holders and if you own a large lens, such as the 10-24 they are expensive and complicated to use (on a windy and drizzly day with an extralarge bellows to avoid reflections? I don’t think so)

 

Circular graduated fiter are ok for price and usability but, at the very most you can rotate them but you cannot change the height  where the graduated effect will be taking place.

 

So, I was wondering.

 

Since we can make the graduated effect in post production but it takes a bit of time  to do it...

 

Couldn’t Fuji add this to the advanced (!) filters?

 

In other words.

 

Could we have a mode where we could decide the graduated ( ND or coloured) effect filtering of one section of the image establishing a point of start (mark) and a level of exposure reduction ( and colour)?

 

Now, if this regulation would be possible. Could we apply the same concept to the “ miniature” mode and decide, in camera, where the blurring of this “ effect” would take place?

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
