Contrast Pop (Studio Version Only)
A more extreme and selective version of the Midtone Detail control found in the Color Wheels palette, designed to add either sharp high-contrast looks, or soft low-contrast looks to a selective portion of the tonal range of the image.
— Detail Amount: Lets you choose how much of this effect to apply. At 0, no effect is applied. At positive values progressively sharper contrast is added, while at negative values progressively softer low-contrast is applied.
— Detail size: Lets you choose which structures of the image are affected by this localized contrast adjustment, from smaller to larger.
— Low and High Threshold: These values let you define what range of image tonality is affected by this filter, allowing you to omit either shadows or highlights from this operation.
— Softness: Lets you soften the transition between the affected and unaffected areas of the image.
DCTL (Studio Version Only)
Lets you apply a DCTL wherever you can apply ResolveFX plugins. For more information on DCTLs and where they’re installed, see Chapter 197, “Creating DCTL LUTs.”
— DCTL List: A pop-up that lets you choose from the available DCTLs installed on your workstation location.
— On Mac OS X: Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/LUT/
— On Windows: C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\LUT
— On Linux: /home/resolve/LUT
— Reload DCTL: Allows users to refresh the currently loaded DCTL file content. This lets the user make changes in the DCTL using a text editor, then reload it to see the results. It does not refresh the DCTL list; to do so, you must restart the DaVinci Resolve application.
Dehaze (Studio Version Only)
Designed to let you make adjustments to color and contrast to reduce the visible effects of Aerial Perspective (i.e., smog, airlight, and haze) in an image. This filter automatically generates a simulated depth map, which is used to apply more of this corrective color adjustment to faraway parts of the image that would be more affected by haze effects and less color adjustment to closeup parts of the image. It estimates haze and has options for guiding that estimate and controlling the processing.
— Dehaze Strength: This slider applies a simultaneous color and contrast adjustment. Raising Dehaze Strength subtly increases contrast (especially in the shadows) while rebalancing color toward the complement of the currently selected Haze Color and selectively intensifying saturation. Lowering Dehaze Strength decreases contrast and rebalances color toward the selected Haze Color itself while selectively lowering saturation.
— Haze Color: A color control that lets you choose or sample the color of smog, airlight, or haze in an image that you want to minimize.
