I was playing around with some color editing tools the other day, and I was wondering... could an expert colorist match the colors obtained from a 3-chip camera on footage captured from a 1-chip camera? I mean, is it actually possible, or are there things that exist in the image of a 3-chip camera that can never be brought out in footage from a 1-chip camera? I was actually able to make an image from a 1-chip camera look quite good after doing some color correction and contrast correction on it.

as a tangent -- can you get cheap color editing programs for pc use in home editing?

I dunno....I am stupid, but I would rather have a 3 chip camera if I was doing anything that meant anything to me.....

I guess it's just a standard, I am not quite sure why, nor do I care...all I know is when Canon tries to sell me an XL-1 based on it's "pixel-shift 3 CCD" technology...I am reeled in like those dumpshit little bluegills I used to catch as a kid.......

Either way....there are tons of resources out there, and I think it just depends on what use you make of them....
