Not everyone realizes the impact of the color correction and enhancement on the quality and value of the final production. Very often it is even difficult to compare the color corrected and enhanced result with the original footage. Color grading serves not only the purpose of correcting for the imperfection of the source footage, but also creatively interprets the footage emphasizing the director’s vision and shaping the final result. Color correction, when badly done may ruin the final result, but the impact of well done color grading and enhancement can’t be overestimated.
