How does Color Symmetry ensure consistency of files for handoff and interchange between facilities?
Color Symmetry’s support for a variety of LUT and look formats enables the interchange of look data between visual effects and DI facilities. Assuming they are using calibrated monitors, different facilities that are each using Color Symmetry will see the same results when using the same look data files. Look files handed off from facilities that are not using Color Symmetry can still be properly interpreted and integrated into applications by a facility that is using Color Symmetry. For example, a colorist producing a look can pass that look to the visual effects houses creating final elements. The DP might in turn modify that look and pass the result along again using the same set of tools.
