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 ).
