NEW - Light Illusion provides full Film Profiling service - 10-May-10
To help generate the necessary LUTs for film calibration Light Illusion now provides a custom film profiling service that helps make sure your DI workflow is correctly calibrated.
Custom film profiles takes into account the full film path, including film recorder, film stocks, and film processing Lab, creating an accurate profile of how the final images are presented when the film print is projected.
Film profiles can be generated for different industry LUT Calibration systems, not just the LightSpace CMS, including TrueLight™ and CineSpace™.
Additionally, for those companies looking to take full control of their own profiling the equipment used to measure the film profile strips can be purchased outright.

For more information please see the Film Profiling page.
