1. As another poster already said, "Readability and typography is not something someone who color grades deals with." EVEN IF I were to accept that this is not a tu quoque argument, the two skills are completely different. I am personally a web designer, and I have no basis or knowledge to comment on color grading in films. None. Nevertheless, it's a moot point because... 2. I believe the original poster's comment, "physician, heal thyself" is a reference to a person (in this case, the author), and not to a position. Can I make this any plainer? |

That would therefore be an incorrect assumption:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physician,_heal_thyself
"The moral of the proverb is counsel to attend to one's own defects rather than criticizing defects in others, ..."
Or, in other words, before criticizing movie color defects, attend to his own web color defects.
> I am personally a web designer, and I have no basis or knowledge to comment on color grading in films.
Granted. But, would you say that your experience in web design and color selection would allow you sufficient knowledge to identify an absolutely awful movie color scheme? I would posit yes. The converse would also be true. Someone with movie color grading expertise should have sufficient knowledge of colors to at least make a reasonably passing effort at reasonable web color selection. I.e., the underlying basics apply and carry through in both arenas, even if the particular technical specifics differ.
