It took me a damn long time to find this information, so I'm pasting it here: > It includes native RAW support for Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony and even iPhone ProRAW. I looked all over for a more technical page that just lists these kind of specs in bullet-point form, but apparently they refuse to communicate information about their product in this way? The "Tech Specs" page only seems to show information about hard…

Been said, but you can outright buy Capture One with no subscription. I am a fuji shooter and have been using C1 in this way for quite a while now.

Complete tangent, what is going on with this image [1]? Render? AI? Too much post-processing? It has some computer game graphics look to me, but I can not quite put the finger on what seems off. [1] https://images.blackmagicdesign.com/images/products/davincir...

For years now all their images have this look, everything sharp at all distances. I enjoy it because it goes against the shallow depth of field trend that has been dominant, it’s refreshing. I think they achieve it by focus stacking, compositing multiple images focused at different distances.

Cautiosly looking forward to it. I shoot with A9 III (global shutter camera that makes 120fps _RAW photos_), and dealing with thousands of photos per shoot is a challenge. I don't use Adobe products and still looking for a good stack for photos processing, but it's an uphill battle. For culling there is nothing better than Photo Mechanic. Worth every penny. For editing, surprisingly, the best solution (performance/fe…

What are you doing with Photomechanic since the price raise, change to subscriptions, and deprecation of the Plus version? Are you using an old version or have you moved to the subscriptions?

Oh, I'm on subscription. Haven't seen those changes with pricing options, thanks. Subscription seems to be at the same price (even lower? it shows 14.99$ now, and I think I'm paying around 18 EUR/month with taxes).

This is big, it works on Linux. Finally! Let me check it out Edit: ofc it couldn't be that easy, need to update some libs to make DaVinci Resolve happy.

What Linux distro did you use? Any pointers? Thanks!

I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 so Ubuntu 24.04... Haven't solved the problem yet - either going to install/build needed libs and use LD_* vars to point to correct libs, or pack this in Docker/Podman container (but X11 apps and docker are quite a challenge too).

Blackmagic's move: ship a Lightroom competitor inside software photographers already pirate for video editing. Distribution solved.

Who's pirating Resolve? Doesn't it have a generous free version?

Yes. The free version is very generous. Most non-professionals won’t ever need a license for Resolve Studio.

BMD’s entire game here is that they are a hardware company first.

They hook you in with some really good software - and when you start getting in to professional workflows that requires specialized hardware (I.e. capture cards, I/O devices etc) you’re locked in to needing to use BMD hardware.

So it doesn’t cost them a great deal to offer the free version to most people because they have to have the software anyway to support the hardware.

Also, while they certainly make a profit on the studio licenses, it seems to be largely because offering those advanced features have costs they can’t eat. For example, the official (and expensive) Apple ProRes encoder SDKs, and advanced tech behind their noise reduction plugins among others.

I actually downloaded this and tried it. Am I the first one here to do that? As someone who hasn't touched DaVinci products before (but a lot of experience with LR) - I am immediately confused by the integration of photo editing here. It feels very much like video editing software with photo editing tacked on. I can imagine that this would be much more intuitive for people who are already used to using DaVinci for vi…

You're not the first :)

If you know how to do masking with video in Davinci, then it all just applies to photos too. I tried today some basic Magic Mask and color tab editing with photos, and it works exactly the same (without the annoying waiting time on huge videos for Magic Mask, ofc).

Is there a way to only download the Photo editor software part? It seems its immediately bundled with all other video and audio tools and effects

No. It’s a component of Davinci Resolve, not an isolated binary. It’s not likely ever to be offered as a standalone app. That’s just not how Resolve is designed.
