(podcast) I personally am not much of a fan-boy. Not in culture, politics, or even in our industry. That is, except, for the brilliantly talented colorist Jill Bogdanowicz. Cullen Kelly interviews her on his podcast.

(video) A reader, Robert Busschots, writes in to share this with you, "Greetings from a Belgian in the Netherlands, One of the most comprehensive mathematical descriptions of the phenomenon of color. Mind blowing."

"Topics include cone cell response functions, electromagnetic radiation, spectral colors, luminance, color spaces, parametric equations, normal curves, mono and polychromatic light, emission spectra, spectral power distributions, chromaticity diagrams, linear transformations ... the RGB cube, binary, hexadecimal codes, the HSV color space, cylinder and cone, and color schemes."

Put on a pot of coffee and enjoy. It's 42-minutes long.

An interesting look at Large Learning Libraries and how skin tones can bias image interpretation, "AI classifiers, the study says, also tend to predict people with lighter skin tones as more feminine, and people with redder skin hue as more smiley." (via Martyn Bull)

You can download these swatches, it might be interesting to experiment with, "MST Swatches are 10 single-colored rectangles, and each swatch provides the most representative color within its MST group. The swatches are created for researchers who need to use the exact color values of the MST scale for their studies and for reference when running evaluations." (via Martyn Bull)

"The company is mailing out its very last red envelopes on Friday, Sept. 29. As a parting gift to its loyal DVD-by-mail members, Netflix will let them keep any discs they still have out."

I was an early Netflix adopter, when Blockbuster reigned supreme, and still own a Netflix-branded DVD holder that they sent its customers for Christmas. Their transformation to streaming has been remarkable to watch.

"If you happen to log into Blackmagic Resolve 18.6 and all your databases and projects are gone, don’t panic. You might then log into the Blackmagic Cloud server and get a Project library is currently disabled message. Still, don’t panic like I did." I panicked as well. Scott Simmons' diagnosis is on-point.

"We are already evaluating adding many Neural Engine features to our DaVinci Resolve benchmark and are far enough along that we can use our internal alpha build to benchmark a good number of these Neural Engine features.

These tests are likely to change a bit before they make their way to our public DaVinci Resolve benchmark, so you can also consider this a sneak peak of what we are looking to add!"

"To master Livegrade Pro/Studio integrations and ensure adaptability, we’ve come up with some solutions to common scenarios we derived from the most frequently asked questions of Livegrade Pro/Studio users. At the end, we’ll give you a few best practices for contacting our support, so we can ensure that you get help as quickly as possible."

(video) "[This video] is designed to show you how easy it can be to use to track text to a drone shot with just a few nodes."

(video) "Build a quality depth map in Fusion. Create depth-based light effects, depth of field, fog, and more. Free Macro included."

"Creating Mini-ITX systems demands attention to detail and extensive testing, particularly to ensure efficient thermal management, especially when pushing the GPU to the limit, with configurations going up to the RTX 4090."

Nice.

"Samsung Display argues that 'perceived brightness' should be used rather than 'luminance' due to how our eyes and brain work. Its XCR method has been adopted as a standard."

"Storage solution provider Facilis has enhanced its Shared File System software, hardware and asset management solutions with new high-performance server models, new asset management features and Smart Access Rules innovations."

"On examining the device under 1000 lux, the colors remain consistent and true for both sRGB and Display-P3 formats. However, it is noteworthy that the Display-P3 content tends to desaturate under powerful ambient lighting. Conversely, in low-light conditions, sRGB colors come across more saturated than usual." At the click there are many more observations under a variety of lighting conditions.

This is the launch I expect to enjoy with my father. It's the first time for both of us! It was originally supposed to launch on Oct. 5 but got pushed to Oct. 12. Keep your fingers crossed that it goes off as planned!
