Clark Scene Files:
Here is a description of the Clark stock scene files:
FACTORY:
This file sets the camera back to it's factory setting. It is not recommended to use this unless you are prepared to
paint your own look into the camera using this as a starting point.
CLARKSTD:
This file was created to maximize color accuracy by using the DSC Chroma Du Monde chart at the recommended
gain value of 2.0 on the vector scope and placing all the colors exactly in their target boxes. It's perfect to use as a
file that will hold the maximum amount of color without sacrificing form.
CLARKVIV:
This file was created at a gain value of 1.86 on the scope, thereby boosting chroma. Further boosting, as well as a
lessening of chroma, can be achieved by using the chroma control located in the Knee menu. This look is useful to
emulate the look of certain film emulsions, such as manufactured by Fuji that are richer in chroma.
CLARKTIM:
This file is for those who want to play it extra safe, lessening the chroma so as not to inadvertently over saturate. It
was created at a gain value of 2.22 on your vector scope. It produces very pleasing results used as is, but leaves a
little "chroma headroom" to allow for a margin of safety in post. Used in conjunction with a Film-Rec gamma curve
will give the widest range of color correction options in post.
REDSAT:
This file was created to give a warmer look to your scene. It was created with a gain value of 2.0 on the vector
scope over saturating the red values and under saturating the blues. This setting is very color inaccurate and should
only be used if looking
for this desired effect.
*You can apply any of the gamma curves mentioned on the previous page to any of the scene files listed above*
