HD/SD color correction via daVinci Resolve linux color correction system with enough power for high resolutions such as 2K or 4K, stereoscopic 3D feature films, or real time grading of raw RED files. It's all possible with DaVinci!. DaVinci supports flat gamma, linear or log images with equal ease and quality. If you need to resize, reposition or zoom any shot, then DaVinci Resolve does it all in real time at full RGB optical quality. Pan, tilt, zoom and rotate while grading mixed formats, mixed pixel aspect ratios and mixed resolutions all on the same timeline. Only DaVinci uses YRGB processing to independently adjust luminance using a simple control for greater creativity, such as slightly burnt out or de-saturated highlights
