It’s a menu setting.

[Tero Ahlfors] “I find it semi-weird that these programs even offer an HDR mode as the actual reference monitors required to do this sort of work cost like 30 thousand euros”
Someone has to be the first to introduce a new feature that may or may not ultimately become considered standard or essential. But more often than not, software development is driven by marketing considerations rather than by feature utility. I’m not singling out Apple in this, most companies are guilty of it in some form. Bug fixes and productivity enhancements don’t rate highly in terms of marketing appeal. It’s much easier to tout “cool new feature X,” regardless of its ultimate relevance to the majority of customers.
This doesn’t only apply to software. In an attempt to boost sales, electronics manufacturers regularly push new features that are ultimately not improvements, but mere gimmicks. Examples include 3D TVs and curved OLED screens. 3D is all but dead, and curved OLEDs have largely been rejected. Marketing is driven by sexy sounding features and numbers. Megahertz, megapixels, resolution specs, bogus contrast ratio ratings, 0-60 times, horsepower ratings, etc. The usefulness of those features and specifications is irrelevant – their purpose in marketing is to sell more products.

[Boris Dimitrov] “the hue vs hue curve in DaVinci allows you to make different adjustments to the different hues that comprise the selection with very precise control. You can, as Alan has done, shift greens alot, cyans a little less, and blues ever so slightly.
That seems to be precisely whats needed for the edit I need to do on my footage, and I can’t seem to find a way to do it with Lumetri as of right now.
I did download DaVinci, though.. it’s getting late, but ill dive right in tomorrow! :)”
Resolve is a great tool to have in your tool kit, and as the free version is extremely capable, there’s no reason not to dive right in. In addition to being a world-class color application, Resolve is also a great Swiss army knife that is useful for many non color-specific tasks such as transcoding dailies, adding window burns for timecode or other data, and syncing dual system sound. Since it greatly leverages GPU processing, it can perform some tasks much faster than other applications.
Enjoy exploring Resolve!

[Boris Dimitrov] “Hi Alan and thanks for the tip!
I envy your skills if this seems like an easy fix! ☺”
Thanks, but my skills aren’t really responsible for the ease of the fix. It’s just a question of selecting the right tool for the job!
Here’s a screen shot of the hue vs. hue curve correction in Resolve, comparing your Canon still to the corrected Sony shot. It only took a few seconds to get this result, and I’m sure with some finessing, it could be even better.

This could be easily corrected in DaVinci Resolve. Try the hue vs. hue curves.

After the 2013 Mac Pro D700 Resolve render glitch debacle, I would be very cautious about jumping into any iMac Pro purchase before there has been sufficient time for others to evaluate its reliability. By virtue of its design, the iMac Pro will be thermally constrained, and I know that I certainly wouldn’t want to be one of the first guinea pigs who gets to discover whether or not the new model is up to the task.

[Bob Zelin] “This is the Silverdraft Flame workstation”
That thing looks godawful. If I were spending $23K on a Flame workstation, I’d make damn sure that it didn’t look like the rich neighbor’s kid’s tacky gaming PC.

[manish choudhary] “i have 1 ques. @jeff if i7 are better then why big companies like “Dell” “HP” “Lenovo” uses xeon processors ???”
Xeon CPUs can be used in multi-socket systems, so a Xeon motherboard is not necessarily limited to a single CPU. For certain tasks that scale well, you can never have enough cores. A system with dual multicore CPUs will perform certain tasks faster than systems limited to a single multicore CPU, assuming that the system has adequate RAM and the application is able to fully take advantage of the extra cores.

Resolve runs fine on my 2012 2×2.4GHz 6-core with Radeon 5770 GPU.
A caveat – I tried it with an nVidia Quadro 4000, and the Display Broadcast Safe Exceptions function would turn both the GUI viewer window and the broadcast monitor black. I had the latest drivers and CUDA installed. Switching to the Radeon card restored full functionality.
