ENDA Episode 210 → The time when ENDA tells a little secret called: Curve Tool (Part 2)

In a previous episode, we mentioned that the data extracted from the Curve Tool could be used to add flicker to our new screen, and the method is simpler than you might expect.

Just like matching blacks and whites, we set up two Grade nodes and copied the data like this:

➡️Min Luma Pixel → Lift (Grade 1)

➡️Max Luma Pixel → Gain (Grade 2)

We keep them in separate nodes to maintain better control over the image.

The result?

When we compare our checkerboard to the original screen in the plate, the flicker becomes almost identical.

But there’s more.

Remember when we mentioned that Max Luma Pixel was only one type of curve?

Well, it turns out there’s another curve type that can give us even more useful data for replicating intensity changes.

But that will be for a future episode.

So, stay tuned!

The journey continues...
