I really reread this all earnestly, and I guess all I see is tactics and no strategy discussion. I understand that to ... Change the color of an image you have to adjust that color, or that if there is a cast or shadow of an unwanted color that ... One thing a video tool does is adjust color. But why or what next? Who knows. You gave it to a colorist. I've tried to repeatedly point out you keep shitting on LUTs as if that isn't what anyone can say as a secret word to bitch about to get into the secret pro chat room. I get it. But if you don't know of any theory materials or why any of this all is done then I don't know why you continue to comment. Photoshop is a very old tool, but I don't know why doing basic image adjustments should impress me, unless that's your point here, that it all might as well just be applying a simple curve and calling it day but you seem to also be upset with people that reduce the work to that so it is indeed very confusing. If you don't know how to teach a craft you claim to know then do you really know it?
