Color Correction. The client will have to select up to 300 pictures per session, from candid & traditional pictures together, for color correction/editing. For example, Upto 300 pictures, from candid & traditional together, for the reception event. For multiple events combined within the 5 hours package / per session, the client will have to select only upto 300 pictures, from both candid & traditional together, all events put together. KNOT Photography will be color correcting/editing the selected pictures only and use the same for the photo-book / album. The color corrected link will be sent to the client within 5-10 working days from giving us the hard disk with selected pictures. Pictures for the Album / Photobook The album design will be sent to the client within 15-20 working days from sending the color corrected link. The client can select up to 300 pictures per photobook / album from the list of pictures chosen for color correction only. It can be a mix of multiple events as well. For Magazine books (if any), the number of pictures will be restricted between 10-15 and should be chosen from the list of pictures chosen for color correction only. The number of albums committed by the business manager in the final quote stands final. In case the client wants additional number of albums, the post production manager must be informed about the same and additional charges would apply, on actuals. The number of pictures for the album is restricted to ensure the quality and life of the same. We have an industry average that goes into account; on an average the albums (one for day 1, one for day 2 or if you club everything in one album) both inclusive, would contain between 350-400 pictures; if the number of pictures exceed by +5% over the average, we will not charge you extra. If it goes beyond the average, there will be extra costs involved on actuals. Number of Iterations/Modifications
Color Correction. The final engine version has improved the color correction tools, and has made them HDR aware. This means that the tools are not bound anymore to the [0-1] range that was considered before, and they are applied prior to the tone mapping. The benefit of doing the correction at this stage is that color will be more consistent for different outputs (ie with HDR and SDR outputs). It is also properly applied on linear data, so the control reacts in a much more reliable way, especially when dealing with highlights. While this seems to be just another stage in the postprocess pipeline, it has been extended further into the system. This same functionality has been ported and is actually used as a tool for color correcting video inputs too in a very dynamic way. One common use case is to have a live video source that is shown over different backgrounds. The flexibility of changing the color settings dynamically allows for a better composition and fast corrections. Image 14. Color correction tool interface on Brainstorm engine.
