Digital Color Regrading
Core Term Definition
Adjusting and restoring colors using digital suites, often guided by historical references and film experts.
Technical Analysis & Context
Using specialized color tools (like DaVinci Resolve), colorists adjust the color balance, highlights, midtones, and shadows of a scanned film. In a restoration context, this step is tightly guided by vintage references, answer prints, and input from film historians to preserve the original artistic intent.
