The primaries makes the contrast to change gradually over the whole spectra to maintain an natural look to the image. Log wheels are great for the final fine tuning, where you can stretch or pull a specific area. An example is to bring more drama to the sky. Use it with caution and only for what it is for, or you will end up with some strange looking picture’s ;)

This puzzle peace is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

[@gitaar70]

Excellent explanation! Very helpful to understand the global idea of the other colour wheels

[@vitum.records]

Yes. This tutorial was truly helpfull and well explained. Thank's!

[@robert-gille]

In Lum Vs Sat curve I click on the black and on the white dots and then pull the outermost points of the curve down. That leaved the rest uneffected and cleans the blacks and whites perfectly.

[@LaszloParkanyi]

As always, a very useful tip. ( I have never thought of this. I love the idea.)

Thank you Sensei!

[@stevegalante]

Very useful !

[@rensocruz1866]

Very helpful 👍

[@ArcanePath360]

Thanks. I usually use a combination of the primaries and the HDR wheels for more precision, depending what footage I'm grading. Good to know this method. One thing I've found is that Canon's LOG3 sucks when grading, compared to using HDRPQ, which has far less noise in the shadows, and the details can really be brought out from the shadows without lots of grain.

[@martinpostmusfilmmaker]

Amazing tip thank sir!

[@robertlewisvideo]

Awesome !!!! Thanks.

[@ifell3]

Awesome, never knew this!!

[@EdwardKilner]

Interesting, for sure. First exposure to the topic. Liked the showing of the curves tool. Overall, more confusing than I cared for, but perhaps I will remember to explore the options.

[@TrevorMcGrathPhotography]

I compare this tip to using luminosity masks in photoshop on still images. Very handy, thanks!

[@litehartstudiosllc.5941]

Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉🙏😍

[@praveenbhat5392]

great one

[@HakonBroderLund]

Haven’t thought about grading in this way before. Thanks! Also, will you test the M2 MacBook Pros like you did on the M1s? You had by far the best tests in Resolve to see where the breaking point of each chip were!

[@sjmedia_official]

Thanks

[@victorwayus]

gracias

[@DaniloMartinelli]

Hello. Thanks.

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Great post! thanks! Question: in order to get this outcome, we have to set just the lower range to 1.00... what about the higher range? no need to change its value at all? thanks!

[@osmanlatif9369]

waoww thank you so much

[@D-watt7]

Good info however what would be the effect of using log wheels(shadows& highlights) on banding?

[@AlimentodosDeuses]

great

[@EzraaaDave]

wow thank yo0u

[@Chenda736]

Can you tell us about the input color space of Fujifilm

[@TillThenPlease]

This is awesome! Is there any way to control the highlights or shadows so accurately in the same way in Premiere Lumetri? I'm guessing not? Anybody know? :(

[@yassersaeed2010]

Its been long time since your last post! Where are you? Are you are OK!

[@slaww666]

Another invention of wheel. The qurve does it all and it is visually more informative

[@Andresvideo]

YEEEES!! I LOVE curves, I always use them, they are better than other controls and I don't see any colorist in YT using them 🤔🤦‍♂️

[@U2TV_Sportscast]

Make a video...I'm not sure where to look for it.

[@willie1001]

Alex, I think you mentioned that the LEFT Rng number control the SHADOWS and that the RIGHT Rng numbers control the HIGHLIGHTS, but you never adjusted the RIGHT Rng numbers AND you were still able to control highlights independently. Do we ever have to adjust the RIGHT Rng numbers to a value of 1.00? Or just leave it in default.? Sorry, little confused about that. Thanks

[@joshuaang3860]

Yea I'm slightly confused by that too

[@Andresvideo]

He is telling the shadows wheel range to affect the whole image range (1.0) but the highlight wheel range its at 0.55 so from 0.55 to 1 it's the highlight wheel that rules. It would have been the same if he put the shadow wheel at 0.5 and the highlights wheel at 0.5. You must think of the shadow-highlights range as a 0 to 1 scale, from pitch black to full white. If you leave a gap between the shadow and highlight ranges, that's what is affected by the midtone wheel.

[@stehume]

Have you been away on holiday as so many good questions asked but not a single reply. very good video tho

[@gurugamer8632]

Hi Do you recommend MBP 14” - M2 Pro / 19c GPU, 32GB and 1TB for video editing with DaVinci Resolve 18 Studio? The footage is shot in 4K - 6K with camera like Panasonic AU EVA1 and Sony A7S III. I also have a atomos ninja v+ recorder that does ProRes raw. I have an external 16TB raid. Or do I need m2 max with 64gb ?

[@DirkParker]

The lower spec computer should be find.

[@XploreAz]

I'm colorblind so I need all of the help I can get.

[@kirankiranmishra]

doing this won't kill our soft contrast ???

[@MaratBuriyev]

vauuuuuuuuu

[@Bo_Hazem]

Wonderful!
