I've put myself into the Log color wheels,…and let's take a look at how they work right now.…Right now if I grab my midtone, and do a really big move,…look at how much I can blow out those midtones…while completely holding on to my highlights and my shadows.…Now it turns out if you're grading high dynamic range…images, you don't really want this kind of behavior…out of your log grading tools.…You really want something a little more subtle.…Because you're dealing with a much broader…range of brightness values.…
So what resolve has done is added a new feature…here in our Project Settings, here in the Color section,…
