Blackmagic Design announced DaVinci Resolve 21, it’s free video editing tool, has a significant update introducing the new Photo page, which enables colorists and photographers to use advanced color tools for still photos. Other updates include new AI tools such as IntelliSearch for fast content searching, CineFocus for focal point adjustment, tools for facial refinement, and more.

Use primary color correction, curves, qualifiers, power windows, and node editor to adjust color in artistic ways across an entire project. Plus, customers can use a DaVinci color panel to adjust multiple parameters at once. The Photo page lets customers reframe and crop images at their original source resolution and aspect ratio. Every adjustment preserves the full quality of their original file, so customers can refine their composition at any time without ever affecting image quality.
LightBox view on the Photo page gives customers an overview of their entire album with grades applied. Select any image and grade it live while seeing the results update across the whole collection in real time. Filter by graded, ungraded, star rating, flag, and clip color for fast library management.
Albums let customers build and manage collections directly in DaVinci. Create albums based on shoot days, camera models, or any desired criteria, and save countless hours by tagging and making raw setting adjustments in batches. Albums appear as timelines on the Color, Cut and Edit pages for easy access.
Camera Controls let customers tether a Sony or Canon camera directly to DaVinci Resolve for live image capture. Adjust camera settings such as ISO, exposure, white balance, monitor with live view and save capture presets to lock in a¬†consistent look before customers shoot. Images save directly into an album. The Photo page is integrated into DaVinci Resolve’s multiuser collaboration workflow using Blackmagic Cloud. Customers can share the contents of albums, all associated metadata and tags, and all grades and effects with colorists, visual effects artists and editors, simultaneously anywhere in the world.
“The new Photo page in DaVinci Resolve 21 brings Hollywood’s most advanced color tools to still photography for the first time,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. “Professional colorists and photographers now have access to the full DaVinci color toolset and are able to build complex grades in a¬†node based workflow that goes far beyond the layer-based approach. They can also use all the DaVinci AI tools, ResolveFX and FusionFX and collaborate globally in real time.”
