The complexity towards the end was actually mind blowing.. I keep procrastinating grading my footage because I feel I need to understand more, but I think I better get on now.. this has been a big help, the most important bits are the explanations of the individual tools themselves, I come from photography LR/PS working with raw, this workflow albeit accomplishing the same things is very different and not easy to grasp in the beginning.. the qualifier referencing was some great content.

"You would expect them to match but they don't". I'm glad I'm not the only one. I shoot the same thing from 2 angles and 2 of the exact same camera, same white balance, exposure and everything set to manual to avoid spending hours grading them. When I import them there is always a difference. I think it's an optical illusion, as the background and lighting will be slighting different, and your eyes adjust to it erroneously. When I zoom in to the white background, pixel for pixel they are the same RGB value, but my eyes see them looking different. It's really annoying trying to correct for perceptual colour differences. Although it might have something to do with different lenses thinking about it

Really good subject to cover. Shot matching is the thing that is left out of most tutorials - yet colorists need to have good grasp on this. I know I've given you some needling in the past on "not labeling" the nodes. I still really think that for tutorials, people who are new users, that labeling helps them follow the tutorial better. What and how people do in that matter to their own workflow is up to them. The zooming in with the side by sides - I tend to go a lot further and take out everything but the face to analyze skin or blouse/shirt hues. Just a few points in exposure and hero choices. I have been on a bit of rant lately about getting the intention of the photography. You, of course have been doing this for a long time and probably have good eye for it and do it naturally. But talking to DPs and Grips, and such I have been researching what they do and which hero shot best represents their intentions. First being exposure. Depending on the actual DP - if they expose one stop over - it's a good idea to set the exposure accordingly - so knowing what it is shot with, ( the log) and then setting the middle grey, gets you, at minimum, to what they were seeing on set. Using DWG though means that middle grey should be around .336. The other thing is the choice of the wide, mid, close takes. Almost every DP I have talked to, have said that the closer they can get the lighting, the more accurate the footage is. The long shot ( wide ) that usually comes in the edit for an establishing shot, the lighting is pulled back to accommodate not being in the frame. They tend to rely on the fact that you are at a distance, and less scrutiny is put on the frame, as compared to a close-up. There is a point also ( not so much in this particular scene ) but people should sus out the direction and strength of the light source as part of the shot match. If that girl had a bright window on one side of her face and then the matching clip was from an angle that is from the dark side - the exposure is a lot trickier and wouldn't necessarily match on the scopes. That's where your experience kicks in, and you don't completely use the scopes, but make them naturally fall into the same world through the grading. Sorry for the long comment - I love this kind of stuff, keep em coming Darren.

The first one is for reshaping light and making some local changes, but what about the second one? Also (except the 709 CST) what's the purpose of the serial nodes between the two sets of parallel nodes? Where could I find a complete explanation of your node tree? Thank you so much! :)
