    When using only saturation channel in HSV you can only work in one dimension - saturation. So you can't affect saturation in highlights or midtones. The curve becomes like the sat vs sat-curve. Grabbing the low part affects lower saturated areas and grabbing the higher part affects highly saturated areas. If you grab the 0 value saturation the image breaks cause the program is trying to figure how to bring saturation to where there is none.
    Love the fact you included the hdr saturation because it can go unnoticed. It's my go to tool if I want to add saturation on shot level and don't want to go crazy with the hsv. I gotta explore that LAB-technique, haven't heard about it before.

      Oh, thank you so much for correcting me! You are totally right. I had been taught that the curve represents the tonal range of the image but I understand this was completely wrong now. I just did a test and you're 100% right - the lower part of the curve affects the low-saturated parts of the image and the upper part of the curve affects the highly saturated parts.
      I pinned your comment to make sure more people see this. Thank you again for your input, I appreciate it more than I can say.

      or HSV use colour bars lift gamma lower gain to achieve your required saturation withouth increasing the luminance is very saddle, then for LAB (CIE) use shadow and highlight below the colour wheels to achieve saturation by either increasing the highlights by digits and decreasing the shadows by digits this is awsome but do it after correct Colour space management else it will do funny things on your image

    Subject to the following observation - and I don’t have anything like your level of knowledge - this is an excellent treatment of the various techniques that can be employed. My observation is that terms like saturation pose problems for people like me when other terms like luminosity and contrast come into play and choices about the latter have also to be made when colour grading. So many controls in software like Da Vinci Resolve - it is very tempting to “just fiddle with the various controls” and see does the result look pleasing to the eye !

    • @marietafarfarova
      @marietafarfarova  4 місяці тому

      Absolutely! Saturation, contrast and luminosity are all connected and how you adjust one, affects the others. So definitely it's something that you learn as you grade and also get educated by the tools' relationship.

    you forgot the dehaze tool, and the sat vs sat curve, because film tends to have dense colors in the shadows and low sat in the highlights, so in sat vs sat, I increase the curve to the right and lower it in the left.

      May I ask how would you use Dehaze OFX for saturation? Also, all the curves in the HSL curves operate in the RGB model so the visual result would be identical to the regular Saturation slider and RGB mixer. The correction just wouldn't be broad - it would be based on a luma, sat or hue selection.

    Great video, regarding method 4, you could have experimented with the different saturation sliders for the hdr color wheels to see their effects.
    And I would like to mention two more techniques: the lum vs sat curve and the color density slider in dehancer (but yes, this is a costly plugin and also subtractive saturation like the hsv method)

    • @marietafarfarova
      @marietafarfarova  5 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for your comment. The different saturation slider controls in the HDR wheels control the saturation of the different luminance ranges - Dark, Shadow, Light, etc. So the correction just would be more targeted but the visual result would be the same.
      All the HSL curves operate in the RGB colour model so the results would be identical to the normal saturation slider in Primaries and the RGB Mixer. But the correction would be more targeted and it would be based a selection of a luma, hue or sat.
      Dehancer's tool is great but rather costly and the idea here was to explore Resolve's native tools. There is an abundance of external tools available, it would be impossible to cover them all.

      @marietafarfarova  5 місяців тому

      Thank you!
      The Saturation in the Camera RAW panel is interesting - it seems to affect the lower saturated parts of the image more and as you increase it, it decreases the luminance of the hues, which is great! The visual result you'd get with Camera RAW saturation and HDR Sat is different so I'd encourage you to test both (when you're working with RAW clips) and see which one is giving you the result you're looking for.

    Really lovely video Marieta, I think you’ve done a great job explaining various methods for saturation. Thanks for this 🫶🏻
    My only constructive comment is about the HSV method. You’re not targeting saturation in the highlight areas when using the gain wheel in HSV. Also if using a custom curve, the lower end of the curve represents lower saturated parts of the image (not lower midtone luminance)
    Using gamma in HSV increases or decreases the lower saturated parts of the image (similar to colour boost).
    I really like playing gain and gamma off against each other to shape my saturation. Often I’ll lower the gain (reduce overall saturation) and increase gamma (increase lower saturated parts of image). Obviously gotta keep an eye not to push too hard and break the image.
    Great video tho, really lovely channel. Look forward to the next one ☺️

      Hey, I haven’t included it for a number of reasons. Firstly, Look Creator has a default look loaded as soon as it’s applied which is mad. Zeroing it out and starting from scratch takes time hence is not efficient. Secondly, I actually wrote the script for this video before 19 came out. And lastly, I personally wouldn’t reach for an OFX or DCTL to set up my initial saturation as I’d much rather stick to more ‘basic’ tools that are effiecent and you can get through a lot of shots quickly. But for look development, Look Creator could be a great option to consider, definitely.
