Otherwise denoiser can desaturate some colors and that makes the whole node tree useless. My choice of adjectives was quite ambiguous. Rather let me share some pics for reference. In broad terms, its the quality of skin diffusion, glow and softness I am looking.Īctually I don't see any special 'secret' color grading technique that makes it to look like this.

What you see here is a good lighting and lens. Of course it can also be a glow effect at post production. Again, looks like a usual print film LUT or manual corrections that replicate all these typical things of a print film like shifting blue to cyan, yellow to orange, skintone to red (brought back before this by overall color balance tinted to yellow/green), RGB curves, soft clipped highlights and so on. Also midtones have more contrast than shadows and highlights.Įspecially the first screenshot. I know, it looks like there is some special technique for this look. But what you see is already baked on source. Good source almost impossible to ruin at color grading. And can't recommend it as a part of a look corrections. Primary color balance and exposure/contrast is the main tool for everything. You should get a good looking image just with this looking through a look LUT or a manually created look. Sometimes you can get an unwanted reddish or yellowish skintone.
