Color wheels in Lumetri need granular numeric controls

Color wheels in Lumetri need granular numeric controls for hue angle, magnitude and so on. Resolve has It, Premiere used to have It in the old color factory plugins. Why can't we have It now? They're essential for professional and efficient color grading.

Lumetri is already being deprecated in the Public Beta … it’s only an effect you can apply from the Effects panel, not a panel by itself anymore.

 

As one of the first private beta testers of the Color Mode ...think ‘page’ really … it is not nearly fully fleshed out, it has some heavy duty capabilities coming, including the hardware people like Tangent working on controls for their panels … it’s really a much better, more powerful way to grade moving forward.

 

And Alexis laughs that my first response on seeing it was what the hay was this hot … mess … anyway … sigh. It’s a vastly different mental approach certainly than Resolve, Baselight, or the old SpeedGrade … but for most professional workflows, will be about as good if not better than anything out there. 

 

Network b-cast/streaming and theatrical will still go to Baselight or Resolve primarily, but everything else … Color Mode will be able to handle within Premiere.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
