Method for reverse engineering a shot:

Hello group:

Sometimes I come across some shots that are just so amazing I would love to figure out the methods that were used in coming up with the grade.  A buddy of mine told me he believes there are methods in Davinci using scopes to reverse engineer the method used for grading a particular shot.  Is my friend correct or is he just beeing foolish?

Scopes can help you analyze the shots and you can extract some information about them that could be useful. It could be difficult for an un-trained eye to see the luminance levels, it the shots are desaturated, if the colors are scewed in towards cold or warm etc. That said, Individual hues, contrast, shape and colour harmony is not the easiest thing to read from a scope and required experience and taste to replicate.
