Color management

Hi, first of all I have to say that I'm really impressed with the application. After trying it for 15 minutes I had to buy it. This is so good and almost everything that I wanted (that I know of).  So, thank you very much for the app!

I'm coming from DeoVR and I'm on Quest 2 so my comment might not be correct but even if the saturation, gain & contrast are working very well I would love to be able to go further. The colors feel too saturated by default (I know I can change default value) but I feel there is also too much red by default (again, same as before :)). I don't know if DeoVR never managed color properly and if I just discovered the real colors of the VR movies, but the result feels strange to me. I would love to be able to customize more the colors if they are indeed managed properly by default (which is totally possible).

Would it be possible to add more options like Hue, a simple gamma (even if your gain works really well!), maybe be able to go further with gain and that kind of stuff?

There are more color settings in the advanced video settings. You can control each color channel individually, and there's also gamma and offset settings. There isn't a hue setting, but you should be able to get similar results by adjusting the individual color channels.

Your question got me thinking that maybe my videos also look kind of oversaturated. I tried playing with the saturation settings and holy smokes turns out everything really is incredibly oversaturated on red and undersaturated on blue, don't know how I didn't realize it. Don't think it is a problem with the player, oculus screen always looked too warm.  Dialing the saturation down immediately makes everything look much more realistic.

Here are the saturation settings that look like a good starting point to me:

A=0.7; R=0.9; G=0,9; B=1.4

Cranking up the blue often also makes a huge difference, it makes it look like it is filmed under a natural daylight. Sometimes it helps to even crank it to 2.

Videos that I never enjoyed watching because I thought they were filmed with a bad camera or bad lighting now look incredible, it's like I am seeing them for the first time.

Thanks for bringing it up, can't wait to see how the adjustments transform the rest of my videos.

Hey thanks for the settings! I just tried them and it's already better :). I also tried to compare the movies on pc et on the headset and the difference is really there. I still think there might be something wrong with the default color management on HereSphere. At least we manage to fix it a bit :).
