ACEScc is a logarithmic ACES encoding variant optimized for color grading with familiar curve characteristics.
Definition
ACEScc (ACES Color Correction) is a logarithmic encoding variant of the ACES system, specifically developed for color grading. Unlike linear ACES2065-1, ACEScc offers a familiar, log-like curve that can be intuitively manipulated with traditional grading tools.
Characteristics
Logarithmic Curve
- Similar behavior to Cineon, LogC, S-Log
- Midtones correspond to approx. 18% gray
- Highlight and shadow roll-off
No Negative Values
ACEScc is limited to the positive value range, which can lead to clipping during extreme grading. Therefore, ACEScct was developed.
ACEScc vs. Other ACES Variants
| Property | ACES2065-1 | ACEScc | ACEScct |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encoding | Linear | Log | Log + Toe |
| Negative Values | Yes | No | No |
| Grading | Unintuitive | Good | Optimal |
| VFX/CGI | No | No | No |
