How does the ACES work?

Anyone interested in the Academy Color Encoding System or colour correction should watch this short video.

In a nutshell: This ten-minute video briefly explains what the hyped ACES (Academy Colour Encoding System) actually is and how it works together with Redshift. As the freelance designer Dimitris Katsafouros, who created the video below, is still taking his first steps with ACES himself, his video is limited to the basics of the colour system.

What is the video about? According to the video description, the ten-minute video deals with the following three points first and foremost:

  • How do you get ACES to work well in Redshift?
  • How can Redshift be set up so that it works in the usual linear way? Relevant for those who are less interested in using ACES.
  • How do you manage to edit ACES images within Photoshop – without an additional plugin?
