Flora is a targeted grading tool that isolates foliage, grass, and green vegetation. Hue, saturation, and density of greens can be adjusted independently - while a built-in skin protection mask keeps complexions untouched.
Flora works in three stages: foliage is selected by color and luminance range, a skin protection pass excludes complexions before any adjustment is applied, and hue, saturation, and exposure controls let you dial in exactly the look you want.
The foliage selection fades continuously across hue, saturation, and luminance - no hard edges. Foliage Hue and Reach dial in exactly which areas are affected, from tight yellow-greens through broad autumn or sage colors.
A key identifies skin tones and subtracts them from the foliage selection before any adjustments are applied. The protection fades smoothly - no hard boundary between protected and unprotected areas.
Hue, saturation, and exposure controls to dial in the exact foliage you want for the scene.
All three adjustment controls operate on the foliage selection in linear light. Neutrals and non-foliage areas are unaffected.
Rotates foliage hue. Positive values push toward cyan-green; negative values toward olive and warm yellow.
Scales saturation proportional to the foliage selection.
Brightens or darkens the foliage region independently of hue and saturation. Useful for adding density to over-lit trees and grass.
Four preview modes: Normal (full output), Foliage Weight (greyscale foliage selection), Skin Mask (greyscale skin exclusion), and Foliage Overlay (a tinted view of the selection over the source).
The same scene graded two different ways with Flora. Foliage hue, density, and saturation are pushed in opposite directions.
Warm - foliage shifted toward golden, sun-dried tones
Cool - foliage deepened toward rich forest green
Flora's skin mask cleanly protects skin-tones from being effected. Skin targetting can get tuned to the shot with center, width and softness controls. at a hard edge.
Controls how broadly Flora looks when identifying skin tones. Larger values help on noisy or compressed footage where colors can vary pixel to pixel.
Sets how strongly the skin gate excludes skin-toned areas from foliage adjustments. At full strength, complexions are fully protected. Lower values allow some overlap in transition zones.
The hue target for skin tone identification. The default covers a broad range of complexions. Shift to fine-tune protection for lighter or deeper skin tones.
Width sets the range of hues protected around the center. Softness controls how gradually the gate rolls off at its edges.
Skin Mask preview mode - white areas are excluded from foliage adjustment
Flora decodes your log footage to scene-linear, converts to AP1 for all foliage operations, then re-encodes back on the way out. You stay in your native log space throughout.
Every foliage selection, skin protection, and adjustment control is in a single DaVinci Resolve DCTL panel. Set your color space, dial in the foliage center, and adjust.
