Select/Pin Row: If you have one or more control points selected, clicking this button expands the selection to include all points on every row that have at least one selected point.

Select/Pin All, Deselect/Pin All: Clicking this button toggles the selected state of the entire warping grid on or off.

Reset Selection/Pins: If you have one or more control points selected, clicking this button resets their position to the original default position in the warping grid, without de-selecting them.


Range

The Range control is a fast method of selecting multiple control points corresponding to a specific range of colors.

The Range control


Range: A gradient shows the range of hues currently being presented in the warping grid. Dragging the left and right handles of the Range control selection box, or dragging within the range control to set both boundaries, lets you automatically select all control points

corresponding to the hues that appear within the selection box. Once you’ve set a range, you can move the range to the left and right by dragging the center of the selection. This is a fast way of selecting all control points within a range of colors for uniform manipulation.


Auto Lock Controls

The Auto Lock controls enables DaVinci Resolve to automatically lock a border of control points surrounding any control point you select and adjust, which makes highly specific color adjustments easier to accomplish. These are particularly useful in the Chroma-Luma warping grid.

Auto Lock: Enables and disables this behavior.

X Points Border: Lets you set how many points away from the control point you’re adjusting the border of locked control points that restricts your adjustments is. How large an area this ends up being depends on how many points you choose, and on the resolution of the warping grid. At higher grid resolutions, the same points distance isolates a smaller region of color.

Lock Column: Lets you choose to restrict your adjustment to affect all control points within a particular column of the rectangular Chroma-Luma graph. The width of this column is defined by the border width controls. This is useful when you want to primarily adjust the lightness of a range of colors, while making a small adjustment to hues.
