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.

* 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

* **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:
