The saturation tool you should never use again (and what to use instead)

[@adamcmastering5170]

I feel like color warper needs to be discussed after this series on curves.

great point!

Yes. Color warper please .

[@stalman]

But in LUT creation, you’ve showed some of the issues color slice can create. For that purpose would you still recommend Hue/Sat?

[@kennethminor9253]

Fantastic. I consider myself an above average colorist with a fairly decent understanding of many of the tools in resolve, but I wouldn’t normally think about using HvH for a sat adjustment. Thanks for making me rethink my application of the curves tools.

[@devincorboy8638]

Hi Cullen! It would be nice to hear a geek out session explaining the idea of "hue angle." Why is it an angle and how that differs from other color perspectives for manipulating images.

[@GraphicdesignforFree]

Very interesting, thanks!

[@christianmcnally4323]

Goated, instantly useful content as always 🤙

[@Sormad]

Is there a place for contour in this workflow or should that only be applied as a final touch on timeline level?

[@vladbobe26]

Great video as always! Also great drinking game for every "hue vs sat" mentioned 😄

[@haroldmorganTulsa]

What are you using on your control surface to adjust the color slicer? I have the micro panel.

[@skymakai]

HvS looks like it also boosts luminance, making for neon colors when they’re boosted.

[@eddyjuillerat835]

Instead of "Now I want to talk about", just say it. Quicker, more efficient. We all miss time.

[@rgbman01]

Wow! Mind blown at that last H vs H adjustment. I would've thought to drag it up on H vs H and I would not get what I wanted and abandoned H vs H as a solution. I'm not a colorist so I might be in the minority there but I thank you Cullen for this invaluable nugget for Sat.

[@szatek16]

What about 8bit footage? Is the color slice a proper tool for tasks like that?

[@kman0159]

Cool. I now have a better approach and understanding of color manipulation. And how to gain a better result.😄

[@GeorgeFerree]

You the best, Cullen.

[@Pizzafromthepresident]

thanks! nice very helpful.

[@foxyvisionsvideographer]

Is there something I can use insead of the saturation in the primaries?

[@divinevideo]

In photo editors we have the selective color tool, which increase saturation by decrease the complementary color, which is the best way to have a pure color. I was wondering what is the best tool in DR to do the same way? Hue vs hue if I have understood ?

[@Matein13]

Hey Cullen, Great video as always. I have a question for a future video. I'm color correcting a project that has very long takes...2 shots are well over a minute. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on long takes...shots with multiple lighting setups, multiple masks. I would love to know your approach to complicated shots that have multiple color profiles and how to navigate a complicated setup like that. Thanks and keep up the great work! Also I love Contour.

[@alexandre9930]

i wanna see this too!

[@SilverLarry]

I use some DCTLs that work as well as Slice or in addition to Slice.

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

I have one general question for look building. What exactly is the reason to use the curves over the wheels for look building, especially on a global scale like on timeline level? Is it because the curves give you the possibility to be more precise?

[@Danimally]

This kind of videos are really hard sometimes, since KZbin really touches your color everytime you upload something.

[@mattm7426]

I dont use da Vinci but in premiere pro I would just select the highlight part of the blue sweater and reduce luma and add sat. What you did here is only increase sat of shadow blue. You want to add density to the highlights

[@christianrushpostpro]

Color slice uses math differently than what you're describing. It's not just increasing saturation of the shadows. It's increasing it in the color space assigned. What you're doing is fine as well, but you're missing the BIGGEST part of Cullens lessons, and lessons as a colorist in general. Time. Real world scenario you want to use 1 tool rather than 2.

[@ifell3]

Great video

[@t0mwhazzup]

Your method with hue vs hue made me think, is it only possible to get this effect with the three primaries red, green and blue? What if I want to have this effect on, let's say, yellow or cyan? I often use color warper (the spider web) for my look development, but I don't use it to get more saturated or pure colors, but to reduce the color palatte in the frame to get a specific look. I would really be interested why the color warper is such an ignored tool, is there a specific reason? I find it very intuitive to work with. Would be great if you could also cover it a little in-depth or talk about why you wouldn't use it, if so. Appreciate your consistently great work!

[@veasnasara]

Thank you❤

[@zacharycbraddy]

Speaking of Purity, wonder if anyone else uses the L channel of the L*a*b* color space to get more color separation, and what Cullen has to say about that.

[@halsinden]

so it's a problem of... hue-bris

[@GlobexMrScorpio]

Sorry to say, your encodes are bad, there is a flicker in the middle of the screen, its been in there in previous vids ( you can clearly see it on grey resolve interface, looking at 1080P version ).

[@pdp11]

Looks good here in the 4k stream. KZbin is responsible for reencoding the downscaled version, so not much options to do here.

[@GlobexMrScorpio]

@pdp11 yea 4k is the only version that looks good. Well, all other billions of vids look good except this streamer, but I guess it's YT fault. Ok . Smh.
