DaVinci Resolve 21 has entered public beta, featuring significant advancements including AI tools and a notable new Photo Page. This dedicated page integrates advanced color grading capabilities, traditionally reserved for motion pictures, directly into the workflow for still photography, effectively bridging the gap between photographers and filmmakers.
Developers Blackmagic Design emphasize that the Photo Page allows users to work with full-resolution RAW images, overcoming previous limitations. The inclusion of AI-powered features like Blemish Removal and Ultra Sharpen is designed to accelerate professional workflows and make advanced techniques more accessible to beginners, all while ensuring user control remains paramount.
Resolve 21 also addresses the modern demand for multi-format content delivery. Creators can now manage editing, color grading, and final output for diverse platforms—such as 4K television, widescreen YouTube, and vertical social media—all within a single project. This consolidation streamlines the process, enabling consistent branding and visuals across all outputs.
The software's performance is optimized for a wide range of hardware, from laptops to high-end systems, and it runs effectively even on an iPad. Blackmagic Design continues to support users with extensive free training resources to help them navigate the comprehensive capabilities of Resolve 21.
