[Tig] color

[Sebastian Sylwan - LIST ADDR ONLY]

Dick,

don't you think the tool doesn't define the quality of the job ?
I believe today the most experienced colorist, if working as a favour 
for a no-budget movie, could probably make great images with FCP-color.

Tools do not substitute talent, but real talent doesn't rely on the tool.

The issue is as you say that there's now 800.000 people fiddling with 
it, and more talented people will find their way to naking great 
looking images, albeit with more technical difficulties.

Also, the curves of innovation for software running on commodity 
hardware (provided the direction is similar) is much faster than the 
dedicated hardware approach.
