It’s best to use printer points to quickly get the shot close, then you can make small adjustments to finish up if needed. It’s not perfect, but it’s not supposed to be. Here, I used the printer points to get the image to a much more neutral point: You can see how things are out of whack in the RGB parade: Here’s a starting image that has a bad white balance – just a little too warm. I’ll be working in the Resolve 10 beta, but the latest version of Resolve 9 has them as well. You’ll see the results of your corrections under the offset control. The keys may be a little screwed up, but the results are as useful as ever. Now that we’ve talked about why Resolve’s keys are a little off, let’s see them in action. The vertical alignment of the + and – keys lets you easily make small, accurate adjustments, knowing exactly what you did to get that result. It’s the same theory as why using keyboard shortcuts in editing speeds up the process so much. Even with Resolve’s slightly screwed up layout, you can correct much faster using the keys than you can with a mouse.once you get used to them. I’ve talked about using printer points before, so why am I making such a big deal about some hotkeys? Because the hotkeys speed up the process significantly. In actual use, this makes a big difference. You can see the issue: the –1 cyan key is way off to the right, which screws up the columns of everything being vertically aligned. Sadly, they’re (in my opinion) ‘close but no cigar’ for one reason – they shifted everything down one row, which screws up the CMY subtraction keys. Here’s how Resolve’s printer light hotkeys are laid out:

Recently, Blackmagic’s Resolve software incorporated printer point hotkeys as well, Though you have to enable them here: Very easy to use, and very intuitive so you can correct without looking at the keyboard. Lustre’s hotkeys were great on the number pad, it was set up like this: They worked on a custom variation of Lustre, and used the fantastic built-in printer point hotkeys to match shots and fix white balance. I first learned about using them during an internship I did at EFILM in Hollywood.

Some color grading applications still incorporate printer points as a control, and besides being such a basic control, it’s incredibly useful for quickly fixing bad white-balance. Printer lights were measured in points, with a 50 point range and a starting place of 25 points for each channel. Filtered light (red, green, and blue) was shone through the film to change the balance of color in the shot. Printer lights are a hold-over from photochemical color timing processes before the invention of digital color grading. Source files are copied directly to the destination folder when DICOM is chosen as destination format.Įxport to DICOM files is unavailable for secondary images obtained with the use of either MPR (Multiplanar Reconstruction), Fusion, or TIC (Time-intensity curve) tools.Printer Light Hotkeys in DaVinci Resolve can help you quickly white-balance shots.
