Hey everyone!
As we are rethinking colors of the scenes for slro
here is the test sample comparison between old color and new colors
https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/colors-comparison-45075
Basically new colors are more saturated (do not mistake with wrong color profile issue)
Better more natural white balance
Along with more sharpness
Let us know what you think

    Manny_S Hi Manny - I prefer the updated version - But my overwhelming feeling is everything looks orange to me, obviously this is subjective but i see orange rather than an array of different colours - Although i hate VR Bangers this is something they have got right, their colours and saturation are pretty much perfect

    I don't think this can be fixed by an overall hue change and probably needs each RGB channel tweaked, but i know this can be very, very hard to get right.

        I think the headset we're playing this back on is going to have a decent impact on what color we are seeing too. The same scene will look much different for color on a Q2/3 than it will on a VisionPro. Maybe ask for the headset they are using along with any feedback they have.

        The first models hair, literally went from red to orange, I like the change as the skin tones seems more realistic I think. But I think this can vary from scene to scene and other factors at play.

        I think essentially theirs more saturation/warmth added to the image.

        I'm not a pro colorist but I'm competent at color correction, and the "after" is a vast improvement. The "before" is way too contrasty, and the more neutral new look allows more refinement by the user in their player to suit their taste and headset. Less "baked in" is definitely better. I also like the new warmer tones, which are more inviting, even if at times the color is not 100% true to life and it seems a bit over-saturated - but that's fine. The "after" colors are way more natural in my headset (quest 3) than they appear in the thumbnail on my monitor.

        Some of the clips are brighter and slightly over-exposed, with poorly controlled highlights and washed out tones, so I would subtly correct exposure where needed, to reduce the really bright patches on skin if at all possible. If you don't have the resources to correct exposure clip by clip then ok, the user can tweak in the player, and I'm ok with where you're at right now.

        Hmmz a difficult one,,. The after looks better in color (more saturated).
        I don't know what the first girl's hair should be like in real... could be towards the orange we see in the after,
        The before looks a bit pale if you look at the red hair but the rest of the image looks more detailed, contrasted and sharper.
        You can see it clearly in the first guy's denims, lot's of details in the before which you miss in the after.

        Conclusion: Go for the after (maybe little less saturated?) with more detail and sharpness of the before.

        not simple: it depends on the extracts; sometimes I prefer before, sometimes after; my criterion in fact is not first of all the color: but that the image has relief, sharpness (see the grains of the skin and not too smooth skin); first wife: I prefer before, the other two, rather after

        Manny_S the after looks better. The first sample I really couldn't decide, the before looked good on that scene, but every sample after the that made a huge difference. So I'd go with the after.

        You have samples what it looks like raw? straight from the vr cam with out any color correction.

            Manny_S I'd be interested to see that in the headset, raw

            I'm curious about the necessity of color correction in high-end VR cameras, particularly considering their high cost. These cameras are expensive and are expected to provide superior image quality right out of the box?

            Why is there a need for color correction with such advanced and costly equipment? Could you explain the reasons behind this requirement?

            Just out of curiosity.

              Manny_S this is raw

              Would this "raw" video more accurately represent the model's natural body color? I prefer seeing the most authentic representation possible. While color correction can enhance visual quality, I want the model to appear as she does in real life. For example, if the model doesn't have a tan, I want her to appear without a tan in the video.

              But for sure I'd like to see raw footage side by side color correction samples.

                  Manny_S Definitely the newer one looks better saturation wise, especially the background colors. But mixed feelings on the sharpness front(not much detail on model's body). I still see the orange tint wrt skin tone which is a bummer.

                  FYI: using a Quest 3

                    alphaRonaldo I've noticed this too, i was starting to think i was going mad - What i think it may be is that studios might outsource editing and finalsation to a companny that specialises in this and they have got it completely wong.

                    That's the only explanation i can i think off

                    Maybe SLR itself is that company that adds the orange tint ?

                    The latest Porncorn scene looked flippin horrible - Why are a lot of scenes suddenly looking this way with an orange tint and over exposure ?

                    Hmmmm you've got my spidey sensing tingling - Something is off here, i'm always right !

                    There's definitely something going on, but MONEY will be involved so we won't hear the truth about it....

                    Look out for an orange tint and over exposure in any upcoming scene and ask yourself why ?

                        Vrsumo2017 No, that raw footage is flat / log and supposed to be graded. It is not accurate at all, but it holds all the color information required to achieve the desired look. It's like uncooked steak.

                        The "before" shots are way over-sharpened. The "after" are using a flatter profile which is then easier for the user to tweak according to taste. Having looked at the clips again, I'd say the after image is a little flat for most viewers and I would pull down the shadows a little to create more volume in the models.

                          Both white-balance looks so off. Grade should be as natural as possible. If not, then just go full film emulation. Or you know, have an art director that can direct the color on a scene by scene basis so that it matches the vibe and content best like how regular films produced.

                          Silly-Sausage Outsourcing to another company seems plausible. Let's hope it is just that and they solve this asap.
                          If this is cam related, studios might delay figuring out a proper cam rig considering they cost a ton.

                          And PornCorn had amazing 8k scenes color wise. Donno what happened to this one with this orange tint.
