I know it's by no means ideal but I am interested to know if anyone does (or has) used video editing software (such as DaVinci Resolve) to edit still photos?

It's certainly possible...

I am considering trying it just to see what I can do.

It looks like it may have some uses, but like he says, some limitations as well.

I'd be interested to see what you can do with it, Marty.

Lands, unfortunately it's not the first time I've mixed up you and Marty,
- to put a less -ve Spin on it :o

I guess I watched too much of this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzwAiaJd5Qk) in days of yore :o

Well just a report back. Resolve can be used to edit photos - to an extent.
Probably more akin to something like lightroom in it's image editing capabilities.
It is especially good at color correcting.
Can also do masks etc.
I've done a few basic ones but will try something a bit more complex and see how I go.
Just gotta find a few good source images of high resolution to play with. A landscape and a nature photo would be good - any contributions?

It doesn't support RAW - not that you'd expect it to.

Supports formats heic, j2c, jpg, nef, png, psd, tga, tif
