Hi! Could you elaborate? What's a selective color grade? What practical use case does it have for you and what would an ideal implementation look like? Thanks!

I am not sure if the OP's scenario is the same, but this would be a practical use case for me. I am trying to work out how the scene based color grading could work efficiently in a portrait editing workflow of let's say 100 images. For example :

• I start color grading image 1. Images 2-15 are similar, so I'd like to copy-paste the entire color grade of image 1 to them and then go through them and do small adjustments to fine tune different parts of the color grading (or even have different opacity for each one).

• I then color grade image 16. Images 17-25 are similar, so I repeat the same process from the previous step and so on.

Is there an easy way to do this? The only way I have found is to open each image as a different scene (so I'd have 100 different scenes open), copy-paste the color grade one by one. Then, I'd have to export one by one 100 scenes.

Opening images in duplicate scenes doesn't help much, as you end up with tons of different scenes, not knowing later on which images they contain (unless you rename them, which you wouldn't do for a portrait shoot of 100 images). And the export process would still be slow with a ton of scenes.

I really like the color tools and the results I can achieve with them. I am only struggling with batch editing of large amounts of images with the flexibility of per image color fine tuning (apart from exposure, contrast, crop, rotation etc) and the ability to then export them easily and quickly (more like a 1-button solution, "Select all" and export)
