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
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
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.
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…

Great suggestion! Seems to work nicely :)
@@theowlfromduolingo7982 I find that color artifacts creep in way faster with gamma vs gain, but maybe its because gamma has a stronger effect.
Always dipping further into the vagaries of DaVinci and there's always moments when this knowledge makes us Stronger colorists. Many thanks.
So glad you made this video as I've been looking "deeply" into this lately! :)
Lol that’s brilliant love it

You have no idea how much you have helped a “Photoshop” nerd! Thank you so much!
your lessons on color correction are very interesting
Super useful! Thank you!

Colleague, you are just the best in its class.
Well done.
Good explanation
Awesome. Thanks you!!
Great tutorial ❤
Wonderful explanation and great insight, thank you Alex, always a pleasure learning from you.
Thank you Kumaran. I am glad you find these videos helpful.

Always good imformation
Thanks, super useful
Thank you
DDV.... you got me. I will watch
very helpful😍
Why some people also use hsl node after the hsv node? Do you crank the saturation up to the max with HSV? Then adjust later with hsl?
Thanks😘👍
Bravo!
Now I know why I couldn’t get my images to look right, it’s because I was in the DDV color space 🤦🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for the video!
Is this possible on mobile
My colorist guru
Nice
Why is L in HSL and V in HSV different on the same image?
So what about that DDV ?
HSL and HSV behave the same for that purpose, right? It looked like you switched to the second for a reason?
I was so excited to learn about DDV :(
I wish there was a memory card slot in my head... 😊
i use the same technique in Camera Raw and Lightroom for my photos.
nice video, how would you recommend to apply ,before the lut or after?
👍👍👍👍👍
Will there be a Black Friday discount for the color grading course?
You got me with DDV hahahahahah
clever clickbait 😂
Dude my attention span almost didn't let me see the whole video. Thankjfully I'm an adult.
Who'da thought Saul Berenson would know so much about color grading?
i would love to have chapters^^
Why is colour correcting so different in video compared to still photography?
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.

@@SD_Alias You might want to look into Davinci's layer and parallel nodes. They could probably help you get back into your comfort zone.
Someone should write a primer for both of us on how to make the transition in language that speaks to both sides
@@leonardlevy8811 Yes that would be good, somehow I can't find my way into video.
