If there is one thing that has changed my color grading workflow - it is the Hue/Shift DCTL. I dont have a grading panel and this really helps me nail the look I am going for. I have spent 2 years trying to get a good looking image in post and this has gotten me so much further in my skill set than I could have ever imagined! It was so good I had to go for The PRO Version. It is worth it

Powergrade collection has really sped up my workflow. It's an amazing starting point and really helps me work in a color managed space. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to dial in their look

It’s beautiful, all the textures and the richness of the colors work perfectly. Very easy to work with also. Very nice.

This tool made color correcting rec.709 footage in DWG color space so much easier, and I did not struggle too much with balancing as well. I also like the helpful guides to check exposure, white balance and skin tones, it was a life saver in my last video editing project.

Easy shopping experience. Received confirmation and download mails right after purchase has been made. Pre sales support from Jason is awesome!

I’ve been using the PixelTools Filmic/Contrast for a few weeks now, and I have to say — it’s absolutely phenomenal. From the moment I applied it to my footage, I could see a real transformation. The filmic contrast this plug-in delivers is simply beautiful: rich, deep blacks, smooth highlight roll-off, and that subtle midtone shaping that gives your image a cinematic depth you just can’t fake.

What really impressed me is how natural and organic everything looks. It’s not just “contrast” — it’s character. The plug-in enhances the image without feeling over-processed or artificial. Whether I’m grading a commercial piece, a narrative short, or just experimenting with looks, this tool gives me a solid foundation that instantly elevates my work.

Huge thanks to the team behind PixelTools — this plug-in has quickly become an essential part of my color grading workflow. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to bring a refined, cinematic edge to their footage.

Whenever I need to create split toning in look development, I usually rely on Split/Tone DCTL. I find it's much faster compared to the traditional route of drawing my own RGB custom curves and the DCTL has a fantastic integration with my Mini Panel. Additionally, I feel that dialing in the exact hue you wish to introduce and previewing it with the patches is a huge time saver rather than finding the right balance between RGB. Overall, it's a fantastic tool and I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Prime/Grade is a simple Solution to have all the stuff I regularly need for colorgrading on one single node. I also like that you can independently set the mode for different color operations. The only downside is how Davincis Micro Panel does not allow to change the parameters of DCTLs.

I've been using filmic contrast on all my projects for the past few months. The visualization it gives you in adjusting your curve along with all the tools and tips for improving your skillset is invaluable. It's helping guide me to know what I'm doing and why it is affecting things rather than haphazardly adjusting sliders.

PixelTools did it again! The Filmic/Contrast DCTL is an intuitive tool that I am incorporation permanently to my Node Tree! Once you learn its right use (its quite easy), you results are as expected, In addition, it is flexible enough to help unlesh your creativity.

Solves many of the issues that I’ve encountered with Color Slice. Less destructive, more nuanced and feature packed. Two years and it’s still a permanent fixture in my node tree.

This tool has become an essential part of my grading workflow—it’s now a key element in my base node tree. It really simplifies the process and helps me achieve richer, more vibrant colors with ease. I’m very happy with it and would totally recommend it to anyone serious about color grading.

I use these dctls for both look design and fine-tuning on a shot-by-shot basis workflow. It is a greatly designed tool that provides great results without breaking the image when applied properly. It's a must have!

Just started grading a project using the Prime/Grade™ DCTL Plug-In on my iMac, and it’s already taken my workflow to the next level. What really stands out is how much primary correction I can handle directly within the Full Page Viewer (Shift + F). It’s incredibly efficient—especially since I’m currently working without a secondary monitor. Being able to stay focused in a full-screen environment without constantly toggling panels or windows makes a huge difference. Prime/Grade™ really brings precision and speed together in a smart, compact interface.

Seriously great DCTL. Totally changed my workflow; not only does it speed everything up, it also makes checking your work a breeze with its checker tools built in. Very flexible as well, allowing you to use a variety of different gammas. I’m legitimately a super fan now.
