Title: Extreme chroma with picture style?
Post by: c2s07 on November 28, 2013, 05:50:30 PM
Hello,

I like using Magic Lantern's "extreme chroma" effect for perfecting the white balance. While waiting for a stable version for 6D, I thought I would try creating a similar effect via a custom picture style:

- Landscape style as base
- Maxed global saturation (+4)
- Maxed individual color saturations in picture style editor (2nd tab, R/Y/G/C/B/M)

It's ok, but not quite there yet. I wonder if that is all I can do with the original software?

I also have related feature requests for 6D ML, might as well mention them here.

1) There are several buttons on 6D which are unused in movie mode. If/when possible to assign custom shortcuts, it would be convenient to have the extreme chroma effect toggleable/holdable from a custom button.

2) I wasn't surprised at all to find out that it's not possible to adjust white balance while recording. Perhaps the multi-controller could be utilised here. It's already controlling the white rectangle position, but with an extra button press, a white balance adjustment mode could be toggled:
2a) left/right = Kelvin value
2b) up/down = green/magenta shift
2c) optional: when active, automatically toggle extreme chroma effect as well (replaces feature request #1)

Thanks for reading, and for any thoughts. :)

It would be helpful if you could post them in the Feature request (http://"http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?board=24.0") section, so that they don't get lost.  This makes it easier for people to search for specific FR, and helps the devs to keep track of requests.

Cheers.

I know, but I wonder if the devs want yet another thread dedicated to "I have a custom shortcut button idea!", at least not until such things are properly doable (which they aren't yet, from what I've understood). :)

So I was thinking it would best to just mention these here for now, and if it becomes possible to assign any feature to any custom button, I'll make a proper feature request later on.
