Hello,
If I may offer my opinion, I have always felt that Filmic was never really finalized. Every year we were treated to a new version, eight in total. On the other hand, it opened up a new way of working.
Personally, I switched from the basic curve to Sigmoid. The arrival of primaries was a wonderful innovation.
Agx gives me excellent results. Despite the large number of sliders, I get the desired result much faster. It saves me from going back and forth with the color balance. Agx also has more contrast in the colors, which is very noticeable in landscapes, especially in shades of green, trees, lawns, etc.
As for blue skies, I’ve found that good exposure at the start of the workflow is essential.
All of this is very subjective, and in any case, we have enough tools to correct minor flaws.
Best regards,
Christian
