Captured Analysis Values
Once you’ve analyzed the frame, another set of parameters appear showing the captured
analysis values upon which the automated correction is based, so that you can make manual
adjustments if necessary to improve the result. The parameters that are shown depend on the
option you chose from the What to Stabilize pop-up menu.
If you chose White Balance and Brightness, then you’ll have a Normalized White
Balance color control, and Low Level and High Level sliders.
If you chose R, G, B Channels Separately, then you’ll have Red, Green, and Blue High
and Low Level sliders.
Contrast Pop (Studio Version Only)
A more extreme and selective version of the Midtone Detail control found in the Color Wheels
palette, designed to add either sharp high-contrast looks, or soft low-contrast looks to a
selective portion of the tonal range of the image.
Detail Amount: Lets you choose how much of this effect to apply. At 0, no effect is
applied. At positive values progressively sharper contrast is added, while at negative
values progressively softer low-contrast is applied.
Detail size: Lets you choose which structures of the image are affected by this localized
contrast adjustment, from smaller to larger.
Low and High Threshold: These values let you define what range of image
tonalityisaffected by this filter, allowing you to omit either shadows or highlights from
thisoperation.
Softness: Lets you soften the transition between the affected and unaffected areas of
the image.
DCTL
Lets you apply a DCTL wherever you can apply ResolveFX plug-ins. For more information on
DCTLs and where theyre installed, see Chapter 174, “Creating DCTL LUTs.
DCTL List: A pop-up that lets you choose from the available DCTLs installed on
yourworkstation.
Reload DCTL: A button that lets you refresh the DCTL list pop-up if you’ve installed
new DCTLs while DaVinci Resolve is running.
Dehaze (Studio Version Only)
Designed to let you make fast, selective adjustments to color and contrast to reduce the visible
effects of smog, airlight, and haze in an image. This filter automatically generates a simulated
depth matte which is used to apply more of this corrective color adjustment to faraway parts of
the image that would be more affected by haze effects and less color adjustment to closeup
parts of the image. However, the simulated depth mask is not going to be perfect, so additional
controls exist to let you make adjustments to it to achieve a better result.
