It&#8217;s designed to work with\u00a0the technology of today, as well as future workflows. The <strong>ACES color space includes everything the human eye can see<\/strong>, meaning there are no restrictions or limitations of the color space.<\/p>\n<p>It is not a program or workflow or &#8220;look.&#8221; ACES was <strong>designed to help you with your workflow<\/strong>. ACES consists of encoding specifications, transform definitions and guidelines, metadata definitions, standard screen specifications, and the specifications for archive-ready image data and metadata.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this ACES IBC panel from 2015 for a great breakdown.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/71yvHyfhH3A?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"why-was-aces-created\">Why was ACES created?<\/h3>\n<p>As digital workflows have increasingly dominated all aspects of filmmaking, <strong>ACES was created to\u00a0reign in all the various formats and codecs<\/strong>. A single production can use different types of <strong>digital cameras<\/strong> to capture images, each using their own media format. In post, the same film may be edited in different locations while VFX are created in other production houses. Finally, when a film is distributed \u2014 different deliverables are created for theaters, digital distribution, streaming, discs, and even mobile.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-85899 size-full\" title=\"Color Grading: What is ACES?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/ACES.gif\" alt=\"Color Grading: What is ACES?\" width=\"755\" height=\"422\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In all, dozens of formats and color encoding schemes can be used \u2014 and often without any metadata.
