DaVinci Resolve 21 Unifies Photo and Cinema Workflows, Pressuring Adobe
DaVinci Resolve 21 adds a Photo page that ingests RAW stills, catalogs images, and applies node-based grading within the same project as video, unifying photography with cinema and reducing cross-app friction. The shift targets Adobe’s Lightroom/Photoshop model by delivering a single, end-to-end workflow inside Resolve, aided by AI tools and enhanced Fusion/Fairlight, with a cost advantage via a free version and a one-time Studio license.
