Da Vinci Resolve for stills photography

Very interesting and good to see another company providing photo editing software
I already use Davinci for the occasional video editing that I do
 
Very interesting indeed, big leap to a node based workflow when you’re used to layers though!

I've come across a few people who have used the existing Da Vinci for stills. I'm assuming the obvious market is, at least initially, will be people who are mainly video makers.

Not exactly the same, but Capture One, started out as only processing Phase One files and then, by popular demand, expanded to process Nikon and Canon files from "professional" camera bodies.

And for a long time C1 wasn't interested in supporting "non-professional" bodies.
 
This seems a useful 20min video to get an overview of what Resolve does with still photographs.

A few things are only available in the paid-for version, but it's not always clear what requires payment. She mentions that Resolve will import LR catalogues.

Points out it's not a Photoshop/Affinity replacement, but also suggests that specialist colour grading/effects tools in Resolve might still be valuable for high-end colour grading. This could be like the current practice of professional retouchers often going back to C1 from Photoshop for final colour grading tweaks.

As an aside, as well as a Linux version (which shouldn't come as a surprise) there is also an iPad version.
 
When I watched the first video, I thought wtf, this looks like a lot of faffing about.
But this new one kinda compounds it.
 
Had a quick look at it, seems a bit rubbish compared to what’s available elsewhere.

Maybe it will improve over time. Suppose it might be useful for videographers who just want to edit the odd photo.

Yes, this is what I suggested in an earlier post, and of course is also what the second video suggested. It's obviously of benefit for someone already using Resolve for video.

But its also got some high end colour grading capability, which may well interest stills photographers as an addition to their existing raw processor.
