Was it? Digital intermediate grading was certainly in use before them, although I can't be sure which film was the first to be digitally graded in its entirety. -- Karada 18:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Here are thoughts/suggestions for article expansion.

Should the British English spelling of "colour" be used at the start of the article? Benson85 21:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
made consistent use of ‘color’ added colour at beginning of article for search engines Starwatcher ( talk) 18:02, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
"In a CRT system, an electron beam is projected at a phosphor-coated envelope, producing a beam of light the size of a single pixel. This beam is then scanned across a film frame from left to right, capturing the "vertical" frame information. Horizontal scanning of the frame is then accomplished as the film moves past the CRT's beam."
Is this correct? How does a beam scanned from left to right capture vertical frame information? And wouldn't a beam scanned from left to right be the horizontal scanning? Is the film rotated 90°? Or am I missing/not grokking something basic? Joshua McGee (talk) 05:53, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
It's because the vertical scanning is achieved by the movement of the film. The horizontal scan is produced by the beam sweep, the vertical, at least partly, by the film movement, which is continuous, unlike the intermittent movement of the film in a projector. I say at least partly, because in interlace systems the frame rate of the film does not correspond to the field rate of the television system, so some of the vertical scan has to be contributed by the CRT.

Does Reflections in a Golden Eye, a (1967 color) movie initially released with a golden tint throughout, fit in here somehow? -- megA ( talk) 21:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
A History section should include 'global' tinting of scenes of black-and-white films - Les Vampires is one example. -- 195.137.93.171 ( talk) 14:10, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

This is what color grading used to be called when it was photochemical. Color timing redirects to color grading but there is absolutely NOTHING about color timing in the article. Surely some historical information would be a good idea. The way the article is currently written, we have a sort-of explanation of telecine which branches out into color grading, with no mention of color timing, which was the photochemical equivalent. So it's kind of a historical mess, not very clear, and so far as I'm concerned, not really all that accurate as to where the practice comes from. Theonemacduff ( talk) 03:03, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Much of this article is way out of date: use of DI with digital acquisition and delivery is now almost universal, making color correction largely a technical setup and calibration function, and leaving color grading almost entirely as an artistic process. Yes, film is still occasionally used for input and/or output, but it's increasingly rare, and these parts of the article should now be written as historical sections. (Also, we should have more on the historical stuff: who now remembers printer points?) -- The Anome ( talk) 14:10, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
partially fixed -- some work still needs to be done to update to current technologies Starwatcher ( talk) 18:03, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
Minimize the number of links.

There is ambiguity in the use of the terms "color timing" and "color grading," with the intro paragraph saying color timing is the old term from the film era, but the following section claiming the term color timing only came into use when digital processes were introduced.
