I’m doing something wrong?

Try it with smoothing 0.1, and 50 color spaces.

thanks now looks much better

Is there an easy way to crop and/or resize two versions of a frame to perfectly align with the other (so they can used in the Color matching Tool)?

I’ve managed to install this on my Macbook (still running on High Sierra) but no matter what I try, the “Build color matching model” button never seems to activate, only the ones for importing test and reference images and “Import color matching model”. Am I just being impatient and need to wait a few minutes, or should it be happening much quicker? If it’s the latter, any tips on how to get it to work?

You need to close the figures that open automatically, when you import an image. Once the figures have been closed the button should be available.

Thanks for answering DrDre - do you mean the fields next to “Number of color spaces” and “Smoothing parameter”? If so those have numbers in already when opening the application, and any attempt to delete them just lead to numbers (10 and 0.1, respectively) coming in automatically once you leave the field, and the button still not being available.

No, the figures that show the images.

(edit) Finally got it to install.

I’m trying to use the color match tool v1.2 on mac to color match an image sequence, but when I import them, the program says “Wrong file type.” I’m using .tif images, which seems to be supported judging by the tutorial.

Where can I get the latest version of the color matching tool (v2.2 for ex.)?

You can send me a PM.

This question likely comes from a lack of understanding of the technology, but could this same mechanic be used as a means of super sampling/upscaling?

For example, say you used a GOUT frame as a source and a 70mm frame as a reference (both would be the same frame of course). Could you theoretically use an algorithm to create an upscaling script that would match the detail and idiosyncracies of the higher quality source as best as possible?

I’ve always wondered this. In theory this could be the best upscaling software out there.

No, it’s a completely different method, that matches color distributions. All the spatial information is completely ignored.

will this ever be available for mac

I am having trouble using this, I import the test image. then I import the reference image and the test image disappears. also, I do not understand the number of color spaces thing. Can someone please help me, I need this for my project.

There’s an explanation and video tutorial in the first post of the thread. Scroll down a bit to get to the tutorial, where it says “How does it work?”.
