Not really sucessful on BLU color adjustments

PostWed Feb 24, 2021 9:12 am

Hello,

I'm struggling with my New Zealand footage. The colors on that place a natural "strange" and unbelieveable.
My cameras produced in spite of using filters often strange color results ON BLUE, which I'm now adjust.

Moutains/hills and sometimes forrest landscapes have a very high and deep blue. Here I want to reduce/change the blue.

I'm not very sucessful in order to get rid of the blue cast. Here I use masks under the COLOR workspace/window and tried nearlly each color adjustments in combination, what Davinci Resolves provides. On the end I could reduce/change the blue color cast, but not enough.

What I'm missing in Davinci Resolve under COLOR is a conventional HSL slider solution for the typical HSL adjustments
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Turquoise
- Blue
- Purple
- Red
- Pink
which I use e.g. in photo color grading. On the photos I get the need results with that HSL slider.

Do you have an idea for Davinci Resolve how to solve the blue color cast?

Can I add additional Color FX modules for tracked polygon masks? If I add Open FX to the mask notes, nothing happens. Perhaps a third party Open FX modules includes the above named HSL function?

Peter,

Do you use resolve color management? Can you check with the new 17 release please?

If it still persists, some screenshots showing and describing the blue issue and a link to an example DRP and captured logs would help.

Thanks

Hello @Peter Chamberlain
Hello @Shrinivas Ramani

Thanks for the replies.

@Peter: yes, I also use the curves on the COLOR page/window. The problem here, I can't explizit reduce BLUE, PURPLE AND TURQUOISE in same time in order to get rid of the blue cast or come nearlly to the "natural" color.

@Shrinivas: yes. I'm working on the COLOR page/window, cause under FUSION the masking/tracking in combination with color adjustments is to complicated or not possible (?); I tried a lot without success under FUSION. So I use only the COLOR page/window in Resolve.
I look, if I can post some printscreens here.
