I bet the same comment is somewhere down below - I'm new to Resolve but have decades of Photoshop experience and I don't think it works the way you describe it. You have to unlink the RGB sliders after you switch to Lab color space and adjust only the red one (because it controls luminance when in Lab). I think that's why it's so hard to see a difference - you're not actually changing *only* the luminance channel. You're still sharpening all the channels and the differences are almost imperceptible. You'll see more difference if you do it correctly (i.e. unlink the RGB sliders).
Hi Jamie, if you switch to Lab isn't red==Luminance , green==a and blue==b. Hence the cleanest sharpening should occur if you ungroup and just change red. Furthermore, would be interesting whether someone would see a difference if you use Y of YUV.
L= lightness a= red/greed b= blue/yellow. To get the best results, you will want to unlink the radius points and only pull the R slider down. Alternatively, you can right-click the node you are using for sharpening and uncheck channels 1 and 2. This will leave the G and B sliders unaffected if you prefer that way.
Thank you so much! I was looking for something to sharpen my video content and I am so glad I clicked on your video, very well explained, easy to follow and it did wonders to my footage! ❤
@@JamieFenn one question.....let's say I've got some footage that has come from camera and I've not got the sharpness turned down.... So it's had some in camera sharpness added.... What then?
I think after you change it to LAB that to only adjust the luminance you need to turn off channel 2 and 3 ( The A and B). Right click the same way and twice go down to channel on the context menu and uncheck channel 2 and the channel 3. Not sure if it makes a difference with this technique but that is how it is usually limiting to one of the channels on the LAB. Good topic though - everybody needs to consider sharpening.
You're exactly right. The red channel turns into your luminance channel, so in order to adjust luminance only he would need to select only the red (lightness) channel.
So then would it have a stronger effect of what I did then? Because it doesn't change the chroma noise when I unlink the RGB any differently then when I do?
@@JamieFenn I don't think it affected your procedure here, but in general when you want to apply an effect to a particular channel exclusively - the workflow generally would be to separate it out into its own node by choosing the channel and then you can be assured that it is only working on what you wanted it to. With LAB it works great for working on different hues without affecting the luminosity as an example.
Thanks, useful stuff. In case anyone is interested, values of 'Radius' down to 0.2 can be useful if one is trying to do the best by rubbish transfers of old VHS tape (no, the original was not available!). Desperate times, desperate measures...
@@JamieFenn Contrast pop and many setting there is nice. I would like to see samekind settings in photoeditors (Affinity Photo exempel has only amount of local contrast). Maybe Highpass filter in photoeditors is that I miss in Resolve. (Or has it another name or different style to get)
@@JamieFenn Let me know when you can fix this ------ruclips.net/video/Pmk2G7sn_00-/видео.html--------your photo can be fixed with all video editing FREEwares.
Do u have any trick for too sharp footage? Some shots of my lumix s1, seems to be too sharp, too digital look, Is there any cool method that soften sharp edges of the video and make it more filming look? Thanks
When mid-tone detail is raised, the contrast of regions of the image with high edge detail is raised to increase the perception of image sharpness, sometimes referred to as definition. When this parameter is lowered to a negative value, regions of the image with low amounts of detail are softened while areas of high-detail are left alone. 0 is unity. The range is -100 (minimum) through +100 (very high).
Jamie Fenn so it’s more so to bring out the sharpness that’s already present within the image based on high contrast areas? In what circumstances would you use midtone detail?
Why do this last and not first? Waqas Qazi the colourist always does NR and sharpening on the first node, just interested to know which is better. thanks!
NR first yes, but I do it this way because thats what the manual says and thats how Davinci Resolve processes the node tree. Waqas has his own way I guess...
Hi Jamie, I heard that if I connect a second Monitor will increase the work for the GPU. Is this true? And in your opinion is there a particular type of 2nd monitor which should I choose for having the right color? (Because the colors on my old samsung monitor which I use via VGA, are totally different from my Macbook display..)
Im not sure to be honest.. I would call Apple and when ask for a senior advisor (the people who know that stuff) and talk to them about your specific computer. Look into color accurate monitors for editing photo and video. There are some decent ones out there at a low price point.
Second video ive watched of yours. I didn't see the chromatic aberrations get any less noticeable in the before and after but i did learn some stuff. That baseball trick shot was no lie epic though :) im subscribing, Im Ron btw lets connect soon. i will be part of the youtube community so be on the look out ok
Hey Ron thanks for watching! Yea the youtube compression sucks on here so seeing fine details is tough, but trust me it works haha. Thanks for subbing and welcome to the channel!
@@JamieFenn Wow, I'm going to be all grey by the time I'm done because I've got over 2000 individual clips in my project and sharpening them shot by shot is suicidal almost lol Thanks for clarifying anyway - I kinda feared that would be the case tbh
I'm going to assume working with 8 bit video, the coring and level doesn't have the same effect. I don't see an isolated sharpness in the edges like you do. I can't take away with level because it adds the same sharpness everywhere using coring softness. My radius is set to 0.44, Coring, 1.00, Level 4.00. Why can you set yours up to 30-40? 10 bit footage maybe
Very unpopular suggestion: Try making your cursor bigger, or add some patterns to the cursor movement, while recording the screen. The app interface is so packed, by the time i finally locate the cursor, you are already half way through to current point. haha
Dude, that's the first time I've seen you NOT wearing a cap, I think... nice info as always. For my footage, I go a step "further" by don't even move that sharpen slider below .47... By the way, how to add objects like arrows in Resolve? Currently I just add them as .png files... also, how do you do "simple" effects like objects bouncing on screen?
3:12 - "If I disable this you can see how much of a difference it makes" Almost no difference to be honest 4:26 - I rewatched this several times. Absolutely nothing changed.
@@JamieFenn Tried it. Changing the colorspace to Lab indeed improved the result, although the difference is still tricky to notice without zooming in. Thanks!

There's an FX for sharpening at different frequencies and it gives you even greater control. It would be great if you made a followup video with it!!

Should i sharpening when work with deffusion filters??
If you think it needs it. But if using diffusion filters you should probably sharpen in camera first
Hi, after you applied the shapen do w need to change again the nood from lab to color space timeline?

Low.
Could you explain in detail what the "Level" does? I didn't get it.

Turn the sharpness down on the camera. It’s always better to add sharpness later in post production.

Very cool intro!
when I change to Lab colorspace I don't see any difference ? 🧐
Hey man thanks for the Video!! Do you know why I can’t use coring softness and level ? It’s grey and I can’t click or change anything
You sure you have Sharpen selected? And if so, are you using the free version?
@@JamieFenn I didnt select sharpen. Oops. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hmm... My corning softness is greyed out in Resolve 17 beta. Is this only a paid for option?
nevermind I am a dummy, I forgot to change the drop down to 'sharpen'
good stuff
How does this compare to the midtone detail tool on the second tab of the color wheel section?
When mid-tone detail is raised, the contrast of regions of the image with high edge detail is raised to increase the perception of image sharpness, sometimes referred to as definition. When this parameter is lowered to a negative value, regions of the image with low amounts of detail are softened while areas of high-detail are left alone. 0 is unity. The range is -100 (minimum) through +100 (very high).
Jamie Fenn so it’s more so to bring out the sharpness that’s already present within the image based on high contrast areas? In what circumstances would you use midtone detail?
Its up to you to decide that.
That new intro tho!
Thanks Jake! :D

I usually record with my iPhone 14, will this work?
Great video, but do you have to adjust clip by clip or is there a way to sharpen the entire project?
maybe you could use an adjustment layer on top to make it faster and general
Add all clips in a group.
Why do this last and not first? Waqas Qazi the colourist always does NR and sharpening on the first node, just interested to know which is better. thanks!
NR first yes, but I do it this way because thats what the manual says and thats how Davinci Resolve processes the node tree. Waqas has his own way I guess...
The amount of sharpening is usually dependent on scale. Sharpen accordingly for different output.
