In general for negative film, it's best to "color invert" after the second LUT is applied.
Furthermore, normally some grading is required on the Linear data to remove black offsets,
due to Dmin, for proper conversion into the destination color space. There are a variety of
VFX IO LUTs available in the 3D LUT submenu of each node's contextual menu that let you
convert an image from Linear color space to any other color space you want to work within.
For more information, see the DaVinci Resolve manual section 'Applying a LUT Within a Node'
in Chapter 30, "Working in the Node Editor."
Using three nodes to convert a film scan using LUTs, node 1 converts from Negative or Print
to Linear, node 2 converts from Linear to Rec. 709, and node 3, if required, inverts the color
NOTE
Applying a LUT within a node will clip any image data falling below 0
and above 1. To correct for this, you can use the Lift/Gamma/Gain controls
within any node with a LUT applied to adjust your image levels prior to the
transform applied by the LUT within that node.
Depending on the format you're scanning and the way the material was shot, you may need to
also resize the resulting scans, resizing, zooming, stretching, panning, and tilting to create the
final framing you require. You can use the 'input sizing' mode of the sizing palette in the 'color'
page to create the necessary framing, and save a sizing preset. Save a preset by clicking the
'create' button and entering a name in the resulting dialog.
Once you've created an appropriate sizing preset for a given type of media, you can apply that
preset to multiple film scans all at once, in either the color page or in the media pool using the
'change input sizing preset' command, found in the contextual menu of selected clips. For more
information on sizing, see the DaVinci Resolve manual's "Transforms and the Sizing Palette"
section of Chapter 29, "Color Page Effects."
