Claim:
1. A method for providing a reproducible digital imagery product from image content on a color device, comprising: generating a logarithmic video signal representation of said image content having representative density values created by separating each color in the image content and mapping densities between separated colors so as to establish corresponding contrast values for said image content, said generating being performed on the color device, which comprises a processor and a memory; providing a logarithmic data file that includes information relating to an image content reproduced from a recorded film using a first output port, and simultaneously generating and providing real time logarithmic video signals using a second output port, said logarithmic video signals having a lower resolution and compression quality than that of said image content reproduced from the recorded film, wherein only output from said second output port is sent to a color correction device; generating a signal that causes a message to be displayed to a user which requests required information regarding a dynamic range of digitally captured video content and providing density offsets for each separated colors to the user; and applying the representative density values to color correct at least one of said logarithmic video signal representation of said image content and said image content.
