hehe.. no,, I'm saying the opposite. I think it's better to color first and then upscale. If you can avoid upscaling altogether that would be even BETTER. There are some caveats to everything … like, for example, a typical workflow in the old days ( and today I guess ) is to edit, composite, color, mix sound, export … but things are getting easier cause new programs allow for one person to do all that stuff by themselves for simple projects. So, today I can put stuff into my timeline to edit, and immediately go to a color portion of the program and do a simple white balance correction using, say, just luminance values, and then go back to edit the stuff. Things are changing in that people used to have to send color work to another person, and sound mix, and composite work. But now we can do it all in one program. Really professional stuff still has to be done mostly the old way, but that workflow also means you wouldn't be dealing with most of the problems the people like me have ( like I didn't shoot the stuff with controlled lighting and professional actors and a sound mixer on a sound proof set, and etc. ). So for me it's kinda necessary to do some housekeeping stuff just to get to the point where I can really just edit stuff and know what I'm using is within legal limits on the scopes and the sound is OK to use and so on... I don't upscale work but if I had to I would do that last. If after it was upscaled something changed ( tonality probably ) it could get tweaked back in color again before export. Finished my "color tutorial from hell" today, finally. Took 4 days cause I couldn't get something to work to make those birds pink. Turns out I was using the wrong control to invert a matte. What a dope I am !
