Fig. 1.16 Note that the black levels are balanced across the bottom of all three cells of the RGB Parade
(red line). This is DaVinci Resolve's internal RGB Parade waveform monitor. Also that the levels across the
bottom of the three cells is elevated quite a bit above 0, indicating a fairly “lifted” black level.
Fig. 1.17 Note that the histograms also show that each color channel starts at a similar horizontal
position, indicating that they are balanced (red line). The left side of the screen indicates black and
the right indicates white. The position of the first bump on the histogram isn't as far left as it could be,
indicating the same elevated black levels as the RGB Parade. The difference in the balance of the
bumps on the right side of the histogram indicates the warm skin tones and orange paint on the
container in the highlight areas.
Fig. 1.18 The numbers from Avid's eyedropper, sampling the black in the shirt. These numbers are in 8-bit
color space. The numbers in the red, green, and blue channels (33, 29, 30) are fairly close to each other, indi-
cating that the blacks are balanced but are quite elevated compared to the true black indicated by the 16,
16, 16 numbers to the right of them. All of these tools are giving us the same information in different ways.
