What I see people doing with colour correction to fan edits to me (who knows nothing of the technical aspects of anything you guys do) doesn't make sense.

I know I'm way off the mark here because otherwise you wouldn't put so much effort in but....can't I just correct the colour using my TV? I adjust colour and brightness etc until I am happy with what I see.

Can someone explain it to me. I'm not referring to changing colour of lasers or lights which are wrong or lightsabers that are wrong I'm talking about the colour correction you put on the whole film.

Cheers
