feature request: Hue and Sat curves

love the guitar analogy…same for any instrument… and i love the response. i would love to know what hardware you are using with resolve…in another forum i mention that comparing a full blown resolve on a linux machine is not a fair match for a mac…..i also cant justify even the panels right now, let alone the extra graphics card…a tangent wave costs over $4000 down here and most of us are just scraping by in these tough times so me on my mac with my kensington blade and wacom is about as state of the art as i can manage right now!
if i worked for a post house with some financial grunt i would love to put in a resolve suite with trackball controller and a huge monitor and free wireless internet and cappuccino….oh and some comfy chairs…my ass is killing me! -
We’re in the same boat, buddy. I would’ve quit working with Color and DaVinci if it wasn’t for the Wacom tablet, though of course I’d like a more or less proper panel. But we can get the job done, right?

Post houses…that’s good if you own it, or a creative person owns it, most are run by sales people that they couldn’t care less about the job, or the quality of it, they don’t spend time and money like we do to get better results, clients think because they have free cappuccino or a kitchen they’re getting the deal, when in reality they’re getting screwed. I’ve seen 4:4:4 material in tape downconverted into 4:2:2, and back to tape as 4:4:4, all because they don’t care to buy fast raids, and the client never knows, anyways, I’m off topic now…
Setup, I use what they recommend, I got a 2009 Mac Pro octo 2.66 with 6 GB ram, I use 5 internal 2 TB raid at raid 0 (I sacrified my internal DVD writer for another hard drive), a GTX250 and GeForce 120, Decklink 3D +, no Red Rocket yet, we’ll see if I get enough RED jobs and with the new 4000 cards I might be able to gain one more slot and then yeah, I’ll get one.

Kim…where are you located since you mentioned that a Tangent Wave panel over where your side costs US$4K ? That’s ridiculously more expensive than anywhere else.
For US$4K you could actually get the Tangent Wave panel, Resolve Mac software and NVIDIA FX4800 GPU card !

hey christoper..i’m in south africa…..we pay very high import tariffs and taxes on imported goods. i got a brand new 8 core mac last month that you could buy in the states for around $2500 and i ended up paying almost $4000…i got a quote for a tangent panel from a local supplier and it would have coast me around 25,000 rands which at the time was around $3300. that $995 piece of software is also around $1400.hell a $300 iphone costs us nearly $700 with a contract!!!..and dont forget that in this country salaries are almost half of anywhere else, not to mention budgets that are about 1/4 of the equivalent american rates…so there you go…we have half as much money and have to pay sometime more than double for our toys….hope you can see why i’m gonna be sticking with my setup for awhile longer!

In my original post, one of my claims was that Resolve’s qualifier tool couldn’t replicate the quality of hue shift in Apple’s curve tools.
Please note that my example is one of the few cases where this is true. To be fair, Resolve’s qualifier will get the same quality or better as Color’s curve tools for almost everything.
(My example relies in a situation where a qualifier’s linear falloff fails compared to a complex shaped curve.)So while I stand by my opinion that curves can be significantly more time efficient for many tasks, I regret implying a quality difference.
