5.1.2 Soft clip Parameter

As the color gamuts of film and monitor are different,

not all colors that are visible on the monitor can be

reproduced on film. In order not to lose too much detail

in those areas, it is required that either the lightness or

the chromaticity of these areas is reduced.

In the list of soft clips a preselection of recommended

soft clips can be found. As using a soft clip will not only

affect the out-of-gamut colors, but also the colors that

are just within the gamut, the lowest possible soft clip

should be taken.

The strength of the softclip is dictated by the out-of-

gamut colors in the sequence to record. For judging the

softclip, use the proof and the gamut function in the

process view ( see 5.1.3 ).
