Toby,

I’m using DaVinci Resolve for about half a year and keep learning that many of Davinci’s tools sometimes are very useful and not as simple as they might seem.

For example, recently I’ve discovered that Highlights and Shadows controls besides rising and lowering of highlights and shadows are incresing and dicreasing midtone contrast in areas applied too. Never used them before. But now I’m using them a lot! Probably I would never know it without testing on different greyscale and color charts, because the difference from let’s say rgb curves is very subtle and decription in manual is quite vague sometimes:)

That’s why I try to get as in-depth info about DaVinci’s tools as I can.

I’ve never used Color Boost before cause I find that it makes the image too oversaturated, but maybe I’m applying it the wrong way?

Btw, DaVinci’s HSL keyer is brilliant but it takes some time to make proper mask. So the more I can do in primary correction the better.

-respectfully
Aleksandr

Thanks, David!

Solution: I’ve found in the registry thread under HKEY_USERS where DaVinci installation info is stored and deleted it. Then everything worked as it should!

Thanks Peter! Thats exactly what I need! Is “extesive manual” you mentioned same as beta reference manual?
