MANAGE YOUR COLOUR...

SpaceMan ICC is an ICC Colour Profile Management System that enables film and media industry standard LUTs (Look Up Tables) to be converted to computer industry ICC profiles, as well as editing of existing ICC profiles.

LUTs have become a standard part of any colour critical post-production workflow, especially where DI (Digital Intermediate) grading is performed. The problem many operations face is that many creative tools that are now used as part of an entire project’s workflow are not LUT capable, instead using computer and print industry ICC profiles for colour management.

The development of Light Illusion’s SpaceMan ICC management software allows creative systems based on ICC colour management to display images in an identical way to LUT based systems. Such compatible colour management enables software systems, such as Adobe® Photoshop® and After Effects®, as well as any other ICC compliant software packages, including Quicktime and FCP on Mac with Colorsync, and Light Illusion's own Alexicc software, to be colour accurate when performing work in parallel with mainstream post-production systems.

The ability to use ICC profiles with Quicktime and FCP on Mac with Colorsync provides a very powerful dailies and off-line workflow for media requiring LUTs or 'Looks' to ve viewed correctly, such as Log-C footage from Arri's Alexa camera.

Accurate colour management is a critical part of any post-production workflow, and the adoption of non-industry specific creative systems within such workflows can be a serious problem for post-production facilities. The ability to generate matched ICC profiles from any LUT also means grading work in progress can be accurately viewed on non-LUT based systems, such as a Mac or Windows PC, via images with embedded ICC profiles. Ideal for remote work checking when the end customer can’t always be present at the grade.

SpaceMan ICC can generate ICC profiles for all classes, from InputClass through ColorClass and Output Class, to DisplayClass, including generting VCGT for use with Graphics Cards.

Additionally, LUTs can be converted to ICC Profiles via the Light Illusion LUT Conversion Service.
