In Part 2 of his series, Cullen Kelly takes a look at dialing in the contrast curve for a look with the new HDR Zone tool in Davinci Resolve 17.
Now that we’ve built a solid foundation of color management — which represents our global technical manipulations — we’re ready to dive into building our look, which encompasses our global creative manipulations.
Having our pipeline properly established allows you to evaluate our image in a purely creative mode, starting today with our creative contrast curve. In this Insight I’ll show you:
- The best place in your image pipeline to place look nodes
- Resolve 17’s new HDR palette — and why it ISN’T just for HDR mastering
- How to think about creative contrast in more detail than a simple “crunchy versus soft” dichotomy
- How to use the HDR palette to create a nuanced and tunable global creative contrast curve
A well-implemented creative contrast curve plays a HUGE role in shaping our overall look, and sets us up perfectly for the next stage of look development: preferential color mapping, which we’ll be tackling in Part 3.
