For example, Blackmagic URSA, ARRI ALEXA, and RED DRAGON cameras record quite a bit of
image data, making extreme corrections far more possible than more heavily compressed
camera formats such as the Canon 5D. However, in either case, DaVinci Resolve provides the
tools to process images in many different ways to adjust the image for a better look.
Underexposed source
Balanced and gain corrected
Whether clips need changes large or small, the primary DaVinci Resolve toolset adjusts the
characteristics of hue, saturation, and contrast in a variety of ways. In the Color Wheels palette,
Color balance wheels let you adjust all three color channels at once, altering the color
temperature of the scene at specific ranges of tonal detail referred to as lift, gamma, and gain.
Alternately, the slider-based Primaries Bars mode lets you make the same kinds of controls via
independently adjustable red, green, and blue lift, gamma, and gain controls.
