Overview
Logarithmic encoding compresses highlight and shadow data so more tonal information can be stored within limited bit depth.
Why Log Exists
Human vision perceives brightness logarithmically, so log encoding captures light more efficiently than linear encoding.
Workflow Role
Log footage appears flat initially but retains more grading flexibility during post-production.
Professional Importance
Log transforms are fundamental to cinematic workflows and professional color pipelines.
