Jonathan Lampel breaks down a smarter way to handle color and compositing directly inside Blender, without exporting renders to Photoshop, Affinity, or other photo apps first. He explains why working in Blender gives you access to scene data you lose everywhere else, how to think about linear vs sRGB adjustments, and how to push looks further with custom transforms, local contrast, film-style effects, and advanced color workflows.

00:00 Why compositing and color work better inside Blender
01:18 What you lose when you export to Photoshop or Affinity
02:28 The core setup: view transform, raw/none, and convert to display
03:44 Linear space vs sRGB adjustments
05:44 Why saturation behaves differently before and after display transform
07:29 Blending different looks instead of choosing one
09:17 AGX, Filmic, PBR Neutral, and custom view transforms
11:33 Building film-style looks in Blender
12:44 Local contrast and edge-based effects
15:14 Negative bleed, halation, and film-inspired compositing
17:08 Subtractive saturation, LAB, and advanced color workflows
18:06 More topics to explore after the talk
If you want more control over your renders without wrecking image quality on export, this talk gets straight to the point. It shows why Blender is not just a rendering tool, but a serious environment for image finishing when you understand how color transforms and compositing actually work.
The big takeaway is simple: Blender gives you access to the full scene, the full data, and the full flexibility. That makes a lot of effects easier, cleaner, and in some cases impossible to replicate as well, outside of Blender.
