The photos you chose were perfect because they also let you show a great sample of the tools you use to clean them up. I've NEVER thought of using Resolve in this way before.
Another reason to drop the Adobe suite, not that I needed it. Its just incredible what is possible with this software. Thank you for posting this, it was truly enlightening.
Lol, right? I know DR isn't a photo editor but you definitely can do it. I've been doing it a lot more lately and its epic. Especially for nailing skin tones.
@@JamieFenn I found this really interesting and I am pretty sure I could happily integrate this into my daily workflow, especially if I used this along with adjustment clips to edit multiple images at once on a timeline.
Jamie - after reviewing half a dozen other videos claiming to show how to EXPORT the photos, finally yours got me over the finish line after hours of trying to get it done!! Thank you!
This was extremely helpful. I’ve been struggling trying to edit GoPro footage that’s shot in Flat Color with White Balance set to Native. It seems like most tutorials I’ve watched make color magically appear, but your video made it very clear how to get color to show up. I’ve also been scared to raise the saturation up very high but it looks like that’s what I have to do for Native WB footage.
Yo! Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel! Yea you can definitely use it to edit photos. I almost like it better than LR and PS for skin tone accuracy. Maybe Im just a DR fan boy though lol. Feel free to let me know what you think about my other videos. Enjoy!
Hi Jamie, I just wanted to thank you for your time and efforts! I am a new TH-camr and do not have any experience, but you helped me a lot with Davinci. I came to Davinci from almost zero experience. So it was not easy at first. In appreciation of what you are doing I put your channel logo on my channel front page!
Jamie - 7-month user of DaVinci Resolve here. Awesome...really awesome video. It was easy to follow (atleast for me), and the examples were kickass. Your final edit for this video was FANTASTIC!! 🙏🏽 3 notes: 1) I’ve accidentally added saturation in a node that wasn’t the “saturation node” in the tree, but it never occurred to me to add a 2nd node for saturation on purpose. THANK YOU!!! 2) at 21:51, try Alt + D instead of selecting all nodes and Shift + D. 😳 3) I export images from the Color tab with a right-click on the image. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great tutorial! Love that I am able to use a single app for video and photo editing as a beginner editor. Makes it much easier to digest and keeps me motivated.
ive been asking blackmagic for ages to add some basic stills asset management for rating and some dedicated tools for editing stills. If you are editing 500 images you need to be able to crop or do local adjustments in less clicks for example. All the tools are already in there. Im sure they will add a dedicated stills page sooner or later. Important to know is that the max export resolution is 4K for the free version. I got the full version just to export stills at full resolution. Keep up the great tutorials!
Jamie Fenn It would be way more easier to add a few still friendly features. Davinci was originally just a color grading tool. And now its a Color Grading, NLE, Audio DAW with Fairlight and Compositing app with Fusion all in one app. Good times:)
Jamie Fenn Dont think because their market is film. And they dont need to because all the tools are already in there. With a few tiny tweaks they could easily compete with Lightroom, the same way they compete with Premiere. And LR has just as much frustrated users😎 Not everyone uses the fairlight or fusion page and you can currently already show or hide all the panels.
Editing photos in DR, what a cool idea! Each tool has its purpose. I really like using Photoshop for some things, but now I'm more at home with the DR Color page for color grading and general touch-up work for video images. I too would like to see more of these types of videos about editing photos in DR. It would be interesting to create a video to apply this idea to post-producing an audio project (without video) using the Fairlight page. Maybe videos like this already exist but I haven't found one yet. Thanks for your knowledge to help uncover the versatility of DR; there's so much to learn. I'll stay tuned.
Thanks for the shout-out bro! I've been following your DR tutorials to learn video editing and I didn't even know you could edit photos! I like your edit so much better. Keep it up!
Dude YES! No problem. So stoked to receive your photos. Thank you! May have to use another one for a future photo tutorial if that's cool? Thanks again!
brooooo, i was stuck choosing between lightroom and capture one but still in need of a video editor. this single video has me subscribing to you and buying davinci resolve. can't thank you enough and will definitely be watching every single video you've made
the moment you are watching a video /photo editing tutorial and then see your favourite bush chef's youtube account mentioned! what are the odds. Great work both! you both inspire me. Great photo of Fred!
This was a super helpful video. Thanks for putting the time and effort in to making great content. I especially liked that you went through a number of examples. Seeing how you adjusted your process to each was incredibly useful.
Thanks for posting this! Is there any difference in quality in the way it is shown here to export compared to the ‘grab still’ function and then exporting as a tiff or jpeg?
I don't know if you'll ever reply but if you do it would be a huge help but I'm in awe of your imagination and creativity of these edits. Lovely job. My question is, how do you know what to do? How do you know what color aspect to adjust for a good photo in the settings? How do you know where to go? For example, in 6:40 you said the first thing you want to do is look at the Waveform. Why? What kind of things does that tell you what you need to adjust in the photo? I have little experience with editing in DR, but I want to get better. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Brilliant! Really informative video 👍. Could you explain how you would blend multiple bracketed shots to create a HDR photo? Or how you would overlay and blend two photos maybe? Looking forward to seeing more videos like this! Thanks
Hi Jamie, could you make a video about the basics on editing photos in DR? for example, how to set color management, cause photos are normally in another set of color spaces. I don't know how to set it correctly in DR if I want to edit a photo from a Leica camera. How to set frame rate ? You didn't talk about these basics but that would be very helpful to just get started. Thanks
I use Affinity Photo if make photoediting. But I have learn to use Resolve with nodes it would be nice to test it some complex photoediting some projects.
Resolve is so versatile! Definitely play around and use it like you would a photo editor. You just may have to approach the process a little differently.
My only reservation is if you were wanting to print out images due to the color space. Thoughts? With that said, it would be interesting to see what can be done in the Fusion page.
first!! yess... I have been thinking of using davinci to edit photos but just never did it i have been using darktable and gimp and videos explaining the scopes more in depth>?
@@JamieFenn ya man I am really considering switching and using this as my photo editor I also think it could help editing video as well since Im using the same program... what do you think man ?
Bonjour Jamie & thank for your tuto. My issue concern the fact that I would export many photos in the same deliver process and get a clip (file) for each one...Having tested several possibilities , I can't reach my intention; I get just one photo or a rush merging all the photos (like for video) 😡 So could you please tell me if you made a tuto about this subject or if you could explain me the best way? Regards. Patrice (from Paris France)
I’d like to use the same process I edit RAW footage and use that to edit RAW photos so i have a consistent look. Do you have any advice? I tried to look up raw to log CST but I don’t think that exists
Hi tnx for the great tutorial! I was wondering what is the difference between - > grab a still in the color tab and export it and the method you use -> render 1 frame from the deliver tab and export it? Tnx
Instead of the deliver page, I just select ‘grab still from first frame’ which makes stills of the entire timeline in one step. The. Export the stills from the color page as a group.
Hi! Great video! Thank you! two questions. Is it possible to edit vertical photos? And how do you place your color wheel panel next to the qualifier? Thank you! :)
Yes just change project resolution to what you want. Not sure about your second question? I have a bigger screen so the layout could be different for you if youre on a smaller laptop screen,
its really a awesome tutorial.. 😍 probably one day i will turn my photo editing workflow to resolve... one question, when import to davinci resolve, the image will turn it into 72dpi right? can the photos keep it in 300dpi?
Completely OFF TOPIC BUT do you know if it's possible to seek / scrub through your clips viewing 'I' frames only in the same way that you can hold SHIFT in virtualdub and scrub super efficient / smooth and quickly?
I have a question how are u exporting ur images from Davinci becasue when i go to export as frame my fize size always goes from the raw size 22mb to around 3.. please help
Isn't easier in weel tab click grab still, than go to stills, right click - export still - choose JPG? I export photos which I edit in davinci in such a way. Maybe you'll find this way good
Do you guys like this kind of video!? If I didnt pick your photo this time I was thinking of making this a monthly series. What do you guys think!?
this video was dope
Monthly series would be very very awesome! I'll be sure to share my photo this time around

Oh yea you can!
Definitely try it!
This is a great discipline for colorists, if you can master single frames you can master entire shots.

Yooo thanks man! Ill heart your comment instead how bout that?
The color grading tools in Resolve are so great.
You are just killing everything by adding final LUT
Do you say the same about applying presets in Lightroom?
Yes Yes ty for showing this I was trying to the other day and getting the photos in the timeiine and the photo type was my issue

How do you add some sort of movement to a still picture? Example: a meadow with a pond. And the water from the pond is the only thing moving...
When I bring images in..they look like a lut is automatically applied..@Jamie
Another great lesson! Who needs a photo editing program... when you can do almost all your images in DaVinci Resolve 16 or better!
