[Tig] color

[Jeff Heusser]

I was more curious about the wider implications of a tool like this  
being commoditized, included for free with FCP.

My take from the theater demo on show floor was that the demos were  
slick and there were going to be a lot of frustrated people when they  
tried to achieve anything in the real world.  The demos were - first  
we neutralize the scene (click) then we make it look like night (click).

C'mon, isn't Color as a point in color correction history a major  
deal?   Forget the sniping... this should be a big topic!
