Important information regarding database management
DaVinci Resolve 17.4.x requires a database upgrade from DaVinci Resolve 16.2.7 and previous versions. We strongly recommend that you back up your existing database (both DiskDB and PostgreSQL) and then restore that database for the upgrade before upgrading to this release.

Thanks Peter! If I may ask, what was the reasoning for adding:

* Ability to set output colorspace in DaVinci YRGB projects.

On the support download page it Seems like the descriptions for the studio and regular versions of 17.4.5 are switched.

DaVinci Resolve 17.4.5 Update states that a dongle or serial is needed and on the DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.4.5 Update it says "the free version support is only on the forums.

It does seem that the correct file comes up when you actually download

Gamut Mapping and CIE Chromaticity Scope

Peter,

There seems to be a difference in the way Davinci Resolve 17.4.5 shows Gamut Mapping in ACEScct and the CIE Chromaticity Scope acts differently in the new Davinci YRGB workflow with the included "Output Colorspace " setting.

ACEScct Project

When you use the GAMUT MAPPING OFX with the ACEScct project settings it now seems to both desaturate and darken the image when you use "MAX. INPUT LUMINANCE" whereas before it only seem to affect the Highlight Roll-Off. However in a Node based Conversion into and out of ACES with the COLOR SPACE TRANSFORM OFX the "MAX. INPUT LUMINANCE" works as it always did.

Without GAMUT MAPPING OFX

With GAMUT MAPPING and MAX INPUT LUMINANCE settings

With GAMUT MAPPING and MAX INPUT LUMINANCE settings and AVG. INPUT LUMINANCE changed from 9 to 7

With GAMUT MAPPING and MAX INPUT LUMINANCE settings and AVG. INPUT LUMINANCE changed from 9 to 6 with increase in Primary Settins Saturation from 50 to 53

NODE BASED

CIE Chromaticity Scope

I thought I remembered both the INPUT COLOR SPACE and the OUTPUT COLOR SPACE being displayed at the same time on the scope. Now it seems it's either or.

With Node Based In and Out Transforms workflow
