Master Wheels
Use the master wheels below the color wheels to adjust each YRGB channels' lift, gamma and
gain controls.
To make adjustments using the master wheel:
Drag the master wheel left or right
Dragging to the left darkens the selected parameter of the image, dragging to the right
lightens that parameter. As you make an adjustment, the YRGB parameters underneath
change to reflect the adjustment you're making. To make a Y-only adjustment, hold
down the ALT or Command key and drag left or right. Because the color corrector uses
YRGB processing, you can get quite creative and create unique affects by adjusting
the Y channel only. Y channel adjustments work best when the Lum Mix setting is set to
the right side to use YRGB processing vs the left side to use regular RGB processing.
Normally, most DaVinci Resolve colorists use the YRGB color corrector as you get a
lot more control of color balance without affecting overall gain, so you spend less time
getting the look you want.
Contrast Setting
The Contrast setting gives you control over the distance between the darkest and
lightest values of an image. The effect is similar to making opposing adjustments using
the lift and gain master wheels. The default setting is 50%. Using the Pivot Control,
the pivot points can be moved up and down on the S-curve. When working with log
images like the Gen 5 Film curve, after performing white balance and setting exposure,
adjusting the contrast and pivot can very quickly get you to a good starting point with
your color grade.
Saturation Setting
The Saturation setting increases or decreases the amount of color in the image. The
default setting is 50%.
Hue Setting
The Hue setting rotates all hues of the image around the full perimeter of the color
wheel. The default setting of 180 degrees shows the original distribution of hues.
Raising or lowering this value rotates all hues forward or backward along the hue
distribution as seen on a color wheel.
Adjust the master wheels by dragging the
wheel control left or right
