Try using the Custom Curve in HSV (Green Channel)! The Curve becomes a Sat vs Sat curve and it is more intuitive to know what moves are going to break the image. Lift & Offset move the black point (aka zero saturation in HSV) so that’s what creates artefacts. Gain moves the white point (aka 100% saturation in HSV) so that’s why certain colors quickly explode. The safest thing to do is to use Gamma (aka move a point between 0 and 100) to add subtractive saturation.
Yes and I think increasing the saturation of the mid tones using gamma is the look most people are after anyway. So going with gamma is the best and safest option anyway apart from using this overall technique in a subtle way of course
Yes. This is very good insight into granular control of saturation, in particular, in specific light groups. Will have to experiment with custom curves, I'm assuming the color space controls translate from bars to curves, so green remains saturation across all controls.
before your complete course which I am wading though day by day I would have had no idea what this video was talking about. But now, yes, it made sense, and I shall try hav color space on my footage.
Lol that’s brilliant love it I have been following you for a long time bought your course I have to say it’s very informative and learned a lot from you thank you
Would be interesting whether you would achieve same effects when using these color spaces in curves. Furthermore, how would a and b Channel operations of Lab become comparable when using GB sliders versus GB curves.
Hi Alex, very helpful addition to your course I subscripted some time ago. Since a year ago I am filming with a Nikon Z9. I like it because it internally records raw formats and I don’t need external recorders. However: The raw converter in Resolve is rather simple and I am still not so sure, which of the video formats is best to use. Maybe that’s N-Raw. Any recommendations or experiences with that ? (I am aware of the file volumes and already work with 512 GB express cards)
Boy that's something I would like to know. I'm very comfortable with video tools and completely lost in stills. Seems weird to me and I'd love to find a tool in stills that has tools I'm familiar with.
@@leonardlevy8811me the other way around. I retouch photos since the late 1980s. First analog then Photoshop. But i have never done a single video. Watching this apps with that nodes and other tools instead of layers and masks is totally strange for me...
@@leonardlevy8811 Yes that would be good, somehow I can't find my way into video. Of course it's also my fault, as I've never made a video before. I can always think of photos that I want to take. With film, there's also the temporal and changing spatial dimension. And I often lack the necessary creativity to fill these. But generally speaking, a Da Vinci course for retouchers and Photoshop for videographers would be a great thing…
