The primaries makes the contrast to change gradually over the whole spectra to maintain an natural look to the image. Log wheels are great for the final fine tuning, where you can stretch or pull a specific area. An example is to bring more drama to the sky. Use it with caution and only for what it is for, or you will end up with some strange looking picture’s ;)
In Lum Vs Sat curve I click on the black and on the white dots and then pull the outermost points of the curve down. That leaved the rest uneffected and cleans the blacks and whites perfectly.
Great post! thanks! Question: in order to get this outcome, we have to set just the lower range to 1.00... what about the higher range? no need to change its value at all? thanks!
Interesting, for sure. First exposure to the topic. Liked the showing of the curves tool. Overall, more confusing than I cared for, but perhaps I will remember to explore the options.
Thanks. I usually use a combination of the primaries and the HDR wheels for more precision, depending what footage I'm grading. Good to know this method. One thing I've found is that Canon's LOG3 sucks when grading, compared to using HDRPQ, which has far less noise in the shadows, and the details can really be brought out from the shadows without lots of grain.
This is awesome! Is there any way to control the highlights or shadows so accurately in the same way in Premiere Lumetri? I'm guessing not? Anybody know? :(
Alex, I think you mentioned that the LEFT Rng number control the SHADOWS and that the RIGHT Rng numbers control the HIGHLIGHTS, but you never adjusted the RIGHT Rng numbers AND you were still able to control highlights independently. Do we ever have to adjust the RIGHT Rng numbers to a value of 1.00? Or just leave it in default.? Sorry, little confused about that. Thanks
He is telling the shadows wheel range to affect the whole image range (1.0) but the highlight wheel range its at 0.55 so from 0.55 to 1 it's the highlight wheel that rules. It would have been the same if he put the shadow wheel at 0.5 and the highlights wheel at 0.5. You must think of the shadow-highlights range as a 0 to 1 scale, from pitch black to full white. If you leave a gap between the shadow and highlight ranges, that's what is affected by the midtone wheel.
Haven’t thought about grading in this way before. Thanks! Also, will you test the M2 MacBook Pros like you did on the M1s? You had by far the best tests in Resolve to see where the breaking point of each chip were!
Hi Do you recommend MBP 14” - M2 Pro / 19c GPU, 32GB and 1TB for video editing with DaVinci Resolve 18 Studio? The footage is shot in 4K - 6K with camera like Panasonic AU EVA1 and Sony A7S III. I also have a atomos ninja v+ recorder that does ProRes raw. I have an external 16TB raid. Or do I need m2 max with 64gb ?

Excellent explanation! Very helpful to understand the global idea of the other colour wheels

This puzzle peace is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
As always, a very useful tip. ( I have never thought of this. I love the idea.)
Color Guru! 😊
Good info however what would be the effect of using log wheels(shadows& highlights) on banding?

Awesome, thanks a lot!!

this helps in WB more easily and faster. Thank you for the hack.
Yes. This tutorial was truly helpfull and well explained. Thank's!
That is a good tip. I can't wait to try it.

This was a great key 👌🏾🔑
Very cool Tutorial ❤❤
I compare this tip to using luminosity masks in photoshop on still images. Very handy, thanks!
Great observation! Thank You for sharing this hack with us.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much ☺️
How to do bro plese reply
This was very helpful, thank you for this tutorial
Very helpful 👍
Didn't know this. Thank you.
Definitely helpful! Thank you!
Can you tell us about the input color space of Fujifilm
Thank you Sensei!
Its been long time since your last post! Where are you? Are you are OK!

VERY helpful! Thank you!
This is amazing, thanks a lot for showing it
Fantastic lesson, thank you!

great one
Very helpful Alex! Thank you 😊
Another invention of wheel. The qurve does it all and it is visually more informative
YEEEES!! I LOVE curves, I always use them, they are better than other controls and I don't see any colorist in YT using them 🤔🤦♂️
Make a video...I'm not sure where to look for it.
Awesome, never knew this!!
This is super helpful!!
Amazing tip thank sir!
Awesome !!!! Thanks.

Yea I'm slightly confused by that too

The lower spec computer should be find.
doing this won't kill our soft contrast ???
