Review: Adobe CS6 Part II

1.4. Adobe SpeedGrade

A brand new addition to the Creative Suite, SpeedGrade is all about color grading. Utilizing the hardware accelerated Lumetri Deep Color Engine, this post production application enables precise and fast color corrections for RAW and HDR content. It is also able to perform color grading on stereoscopic content. As expected, with proper hardware acceleration, everything is done in real time, without a need for rendering. SpeedGrade is not just about colors though, as there are a number of other filters like blur or glow. A range of presets is already built into SpeedGrade in form of .Look files, and users can make their own. Once saved, these .Look files can be imported into either Premiere Pro or Photoshop for consistency.


Fast and powerful color correction of Adobe SpeedGrade. Peter Jackson will finally have a proper tool for editing the Blu-ray extended edition of The Hobbit.
