Hi all.
Whilst I'm quiet, I'm going through all the training books for colour, editing, audio, and vfx in order to fill in any holes in my knowledge, and to get qualified because who doesn't want a free .PDF file?!
I've started with "The Colorist Guide to DaVinci Resolve 18" and and I'm currently on chapter 5 - "Mastering the Node Pipeline" and I've finally decided to make a post here asking about inconsistencies between what the book says and what the software says.
I spotted one or two in the opening chapters and thought nothing of it. I noticed a few more in subsequent chapters and got as far as clicking my "BMD Forums" bookmark in order to post about it, before closing it again.
But I've just hit the tip on page 173 that says that I can enable Live Preview in the gallery panel to see a live update of the image as I hover over the blending modes in a Layer Mixer node's composite mode, but it doesn't update.
Do I just shrug and accept that it's either wrong or BMD changed it?
I'm going to have an exam on these things, so what is "correct" according to the exam, the guidebook or the actual software?
