Resolve's Photo Page: A Lightroom Killer?
20 Apr
Summary
- DaVinci Resolve now has a dedicated Photo page for RAW image editing.
- It offers advanced VFX and AI features beyond Lightroom's capabilities.
- The tool is ideal for filmmakers and familiar Resolve users currently.

DaVinci Resolve, a tool historically known for video color grading, has introduced a new Photo page in its latest beta, challenging Adobe Lightroom's dominance in photo editing. This feature enables users to import and manipulate RAW images using Resolve's robust color grading, visual effects (VFX), and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, offering functionalities not present in Lightroom.
The new Photo page allows for RAW photo import from major brands like Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, and Sony, with promises of broader support for new camera models. It includes enhanced file management, with Resolve's Projects serving as equivalents to Lightroom Catalogs and a streamlined import system. Users can organize photos by tags, ratings, and even utilize AI IntelliSearch for content-based visual identification.
