We think it is important to point out that the overall grade still rules all.

While the checker can be a great helper, don't allow the tool's results to influence your decisions as the colorist more than the overall look, feeling, and emotion you are trying to convey through your grade.

As it is sometimes hard to identify the subtle differences in skin tones across a scene, this Checker Tool will visually change those hue ranges to a more impactful color that is easy to recognize.

YELLOW = Skin hue sits on the Skin Tone line in the vectorscope. It can be considered "neutral".

MAGENTA = Skin hue veers clockwise towards magenta in the vectorscope.

GREEN = Skin hue veers counter-clockwise towards green in the vectorscope.

The Skin Tone Checker Powergrade also works like any other Powergrade within Davinci Resolve. Simply drag it into your timeline where it is most effective for your project and it will instantly take effect.

ENABLE the Powergrade node to see the effect.

DISABLE the Powergrade node to turn off the effect/before exporting.

For the tool to work best, please place the Powergrade near the end of your color pipeline, after converting to REC 709.
