Parallel nodes under the hood
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2021 8:50 amI’m doing some experiments with nodes to better understand them and I just found a strange behaviour in parallel nodes: I have a parallel mixer with 2 inputs, on the first input I connect a node with saturation set to 0 and on the second input I do the same and connect another node where saturation is 0; the result is an image with some saturation and “shifted colours”.
Two greyscale images merged together by a parallel mixer generate a color image with a different hue from original, how is that possible?
At page 2847 of Resolve manual I read “[...] the colors blend with one another as if they are optically mixed. Most of the time, this is exactly what you want when you’re blending overlapping naturalistic color adjustments."
I think this is a hint about what is happening inside the mixer: maybe the operations are calculated in a linear light workspace to mimic Physics, maybe there is a color space transform.
Is there someone who can point me to a document explaining how parallel nodes really work?
