METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREVIEWING DIGITAL MOTION PICTURE CONTENT

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that generates a look-up table, which can be used to preview digital motion picture content. During operation, the system receives an analytical model (500) for a digital motion picture workflow. Next, the system selects a set of input pixel values. The system then determines a set of output pixel values using the set of input pixel values and the analytical model . Finally, the system generates the look up table by associating the set of input pixel values with the set of output pixel values. The analytical model comprises a number of models that capture the various stages in the digital motion picture workflow. These models can include a recorder model (502) , a negative film model (504) , a printer model (506) , a positive film model (508) , and a projector model (510) .
