Be deliberate when establishing and breaking the 32-bit-per-channel pipeline

“

In another movie, you may have noticed this little yellow triangle that showed up, when I applied vibrance in a 32 bit per channel project. This is a warning, that 32 bit per channel pipeline, is being broken. By an effect that only supports 18 or 16 bit per channel color. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to be very deliberate, about where and when, you let this happen. So here the shot looks okay, despite this warning. But if I move the vibrance down. I've broken the shot. You can see that the values are no longer, above, one whereas, when it was, up above, undo might be an easier way to do that. They're well above one. What's going on is that, vibrance, can only operate, in eight or 16 bit per channel, and so if you apply it to a 32 bit image it's going to force that image down into low dynamic range. Without the exposure, this already is a low dynamic range element. So it doesn't really matter. If I need to apply it after exposure, or somewhere else in the pipeline…
