(such as polarization i lters) can reduce some of these issues during image
acquisition. But once the imagery has been captured, resolving polarization
issues is the responsibility of the color team. What might have been solved
by an inexpensive i lter on-set has now become a potential issue in post.
6.6.2.6 Solution: Correct One or Both Eyes
The problem here is not the polarization highlight itself, but the difference
with which the highlight appears in each eye. If the team determines that
the highlight mismatch needs to be resolved, the team can either duplicate
the highlight in the other eye or paint out the highlight entirely. This paint
pass can be done as part of the color workl ow or by moving the shot to
Visual Effects workl ow.
6.6.3 Tools
Some image acquisition systems can automatically color balance L and R (to
a certain extent) prior to generating post-ready assets. Other systems allow
