Gamma Curves
Surgical control over gamma curves within DaVinci Resolve. Adjust toe, shoulder, and midpoint independently with sub-stop accuracy — every move expressed in linear-light stops, readable and reproducible.
- • Six DCTLs — three-point through seven-point control
- • DaVinci Wide Gamut and ACEScct, matched automatically
- • Built-in real-time curve overlay for every variant

Surgical control over gamma curves within DaVinci Resolve. Adjust toe, shoulder, and midpoint independently with sub-stop accuracy — every move expressed in linear-light stops, readable and reproducible.
Three Point
3 control points, free-drag gamma. Black & white fixed. Fast, intuitive shaping.
Three Point Precise
Gamma via dropdown, exactly 0.25-stop steps. Match grades across clips.
Three Point Variable
Adds ±20% X-position control per point. Move pivots off the standard 25 / 50 / 75.
Three Point Variable Precise
Gamma and position both gridded — 0.25 stops / 5% steps.
Seven Point Variable
7 points every 12.5%, gamma + ±10% position sliders. Detailed sculpting.
Seven Point Variable Precise
Seven points, all parameters gridded — 0.25 stops / 2.5% steps. The primary look tool.
Built for precision.
Middle gray at 50% — always
The curve is normalised so middle gray sits at exactly the 50% position, regardless of log space. Adjustments land where your eye expects them.
Stop-based adjustments
Every gamma slider is calibrated in linear-light stops — the unit colourists already think in. ±4 stops of range, 0.25-stop precision in Precise variants.
True gamma, not luma
Adjustments apply equally across R, G, and B. A true gamma shift preserves the relationship between channels — no luma-extraction artefacts.
Monotone spline interpolation
Fritsch–Carlson monotone cubic Hermite interpolation passes exactly through every control point and is guaranteed never to invert. No accidental tonal reversals.
