By default, all adjustments you make using these controls are ganged across all
four YRGB curve controls. However, if you turn Custom Curve ganging off, then these
controls only affect the Luminance curve.
These controls correspond to the following default control point positions on the curve controls.
You also have the option of using the fourth trackball from the left to adjust individual control points
on curves to any position you like. This works for all curves in DaVinci Resolve that have control
surface mappings.
Default control points created by the primary curve control rotary knobs of the DaVinci Resolve
control surface; from left to right, DARK LUM, MID-DARK LUM, MID-LIGHT LUM, LIGHT LUM
