LUT OR POWERGRADE?
If you grade in Premiere or any other NLE, or you just want to apply LUTs to quickly get projects out, the LUT version is the way to go.
If you mainly grade in Resolve, the PowerGrade is the way to go. The PowerGrade gives you maximum flexibility and quality, while also allowing you to make adjustments to the transform.
If you do a bit of both, grab the PowerGrade and LUT bundle.
UPDATE HISTORY
02.11.2022
The Resolve Raw Decode versions of the PowerGrade and LUT have been updated for a more accurate match in the shadows. The Resolve raw decoder outputs slightly elevated shadows, when converted to LogC this results in a mismatch when compared to Alexa footage. The RGB Channel Corrections node has been modified to correct this.
The LogC LUTs have been re-exported without gamut mapping/saturation compression. This allows you to use all values down to zero, rather than clamping all values below LogC’s black level of 95.
If you purchased the PowerGrade version, I’ve also included new Resolve Color Managed (RCM) PowerGrades. This allows you to match the Alexa in RCM workflows when working in Davinci Wide Gamut / Davinci Intermediate.
This is a free update. Get in touch if you have not received an update email. Please include your Invoice number or Stripe/Paypal address so I can track you down in the system.
