<figure><img src="/files/xADfm5CsKuTqVhiCN2oM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This panel provides full control over how **Blackmagic RAW (BRAW)** footage is processed, allowing for precise adjustments to color science, gamma, resolution, and image processing parameters.

***

**Color Settings**

* **Color Science**\
  Choose the color science version used to interpret and process the BRAW file.
* **Color Primaries**\
  Select the set of color primaries to define the chromaticity of the source.
* **Color Gamma**\
  Adjust the gamma curve applied to the image during processing.
* **Destination Color Level**\
  Controls how the processed image is tagged or converted between **Full Range** and **Video Range**:
  * **Full Range (Label)** – Tags the processed image as Full Range (default).
  * **Full Range (Convert)** – Converts from Video Range to Full Range. Useful when applying a LUT that transforms to Video Range but you want Full Range output.
  * **Video Range (Label)** – Tags the processed image as Video Range.
  * **Video Range (Convert)** – Converts from Full Range to Video Range. Useful when targeting Video Range output.
* **Resolution**\
  Set the output resolution for the BRAW decode process.

***

#### **Image Processing**

Adjust the following BRAW-specific controls:

* **ISO**
* **Highlight Recovery**
* **Gamut Compression**
* **Temperature**
* **Tint**
* **Exposure**
* **Embedded LUT Enable/Disable** – Choose whether to apply any embedded LUTs from the BRAW file or associated sidecar file.
* **Destination Color Space for LUTs** – Define the target color space for applying embedded LUTs.

> **Tip:** Right-click any control or label to reset it to its default value.

***

#### **Pre CDL LUT**

Allows you to apply a **3D LUT** *before* the CDL (Color Decision List) is applied.

* Set the **Destination Color Space** for the LUT
* **Reset** the LUT by right-clicking the **LUT** label or using the **Reset icon** next to the “Pre CDL LUT” label

***

#### **Image CDL**

Adjust or apply a **Color Decision List**, including:

* **Brightness**
* **Contrast**
* **Contrast Pivot**
* **Saturation**
* **Slope**
* **Offset**
* **Power**

> **Reset individual values** by right-clicking the control or label.\
> To reset the entire CDL, click the **Reset icon** next to “Image CDL”.

***

#### **Post CDL LUT**

Allows you to apply a **3D LUT after** the CDL is applied.

* Set the **Destination Color Space** for the LUT
* **Reset** by right-clicking the **LUT** label or clicking the **Reset icon** next to “Post CDL LUT”

***

#### **Copy, Paste, and Reset Settings**

Right-click the **Blackmagic RAW Properties** section header to:

* **Copy** current settings
* **Paste** settings to other BRAW files
* **Reset** all settings to default values
