       This little bit of news is going to be a huge moment in digital photography, and another blow to Adobe.I've long wished for Black Magic to take their video editing software (Davinci Resolve) and develop a photo editor that applies the same techniques. From version 21, that's exactly what they have done. The implementation is a little weird and there's a lot of new feature that I still need to test out, but if you already know how to edit with Resolve then you can now create projects to edit RAW files and export out JPEGS... or just haul into your video projects.This move is to Lightroom what Affinity was to their creative suite. It's a big deal. NO SUBSCRIPTION pricing to edit your RAW photos. Davinci is powerful and complex to learn. I think this will make it unwieldy for MOST photographers. But for some of us it present another path forward to exit LR and C1 pricing. That's good for the entire market.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuKgfytA0lg #DavinciResolve #Photography #RAWediting #Lightroom #Affinity #CaptureOne

       @ewen While the idea is interesting I really wouldn’t use a video editor for my still image processes. Absolutely committed to DaVinci and using it daily for $ I would still choose Affinity for stills. There’s a lot of manual painting involved and layers to keep for reworking. Affinity is designed from still image workers.(For context I worked commercially with Adobe Suite for years, then taught it at universities so might be a bit tired of jumping ships) #video

       @lardmotel Yeah it's a totally new interface and that alone is a hurdle. I have spent a lot of time learning DR for by video editing, and in that time come to appreciate the usefulness of their tools for layers and nodes. It's super powerful stuff. But a whole new tool to learn, and presently a tool inside of a bigger tool. That alone will be limiting.But I think there'll come a day when they offer a standalone app for photos. And that will be an awesome day!
