Press Reviews
[hueShift DCTL] may be the only color product I’ve reviewed that I’d say is a “must have” just based on the fact that I’ve used so many HSL/HSV workarounds and never been overly thrilled with the results.

PixelTools [Vol 1 PowerGrades] has some very nice FPE node trees. I have found some pretty striking looks digging around. We all fall into ruts, and playing with PixelTools can help you explore new options.

The thing I love about [Film Lab] is while each tool is built in Resolve, they’ve all been adjusted by a professional colorist. This collection has been more fun (and more useful) than some of the other tools I’ve tested just simply because it’s so modular.

I worked various shots using PixelTools hueShift and compared the workflow versus getting close to that same look with hue/sat curves or the color warper.[...] hueShift is simpler and more responsive, all within a single panel of sliders.

PixelTools hueShift makes it so easy!

The perfect filmic color grade (as opposed to a good one) is harder to achieve than meets the eye. Not so with PixelTools hueShift however: the finesse required is at your fingertips. To get the job done quickly, without having that sense of being lost in a myriad of colors after staring too long, PixelTools hueShift has become an essential tool to me.

Superb!

It's an easy to use, bullet-proof DCTL. Must have!

So far, seems great.

New to using the tool in Resolve Studio but seems like a great tool.

Fixed Node Tree Collection

Really useful tool if you want to learn how professional colourists set up their node tree, very smooth cooperation with your own workflow and nice technical support. Using it makes thing easier, more precise and fasten your time lines. I want to express my sincere thanks to Jason and the PIXELTOOLS TEAM , keep up the good work.

Great tools, future uncertain.

The dctl is incredible and has already allowed me to modify and improve my workflow and grade. However I bought the dctl right as resolve 19 was released, the colour slice tool has very similar functionality however it lacks some of the fine adjustments that this dctl provides.

Thank you for writing a review for our PixelTools hueShift DCTL Plug-In! We are glad to hear that our DCTL has already made a positive impact on your workflow and grading. We understand your concerns about future support, but rest assured that we are committed to continuously developing hueShift with new features and presets. Thank you for choosing our product and we appreciate your support!

So far, seems great.

Haven't had a lot of experience with this PixelTools hueShift DCTL Plug-In yet but it was easy to install and easy to start working with. Great addition to Davinci Resolve Studio.

Great!

Hi! Looks absolutely fantastic. So many tools and ideas. I already try alternative forms to new projects. Thks :))

Giving a new life on creative grading

The PixelTools hueShift DCTL Plug-In has been not just a life saver for color grading difficult scenes but also a great creative tool to help bring my vision to life, especially in grading skin and other isolated colours (sky, trees etc) Would highly recommend to anyone that wants more control over their grading.

Keep up the amazing work guys!

A MUST HAVE!!!

This is definitely one of the most useful plug-ins I've used for colour grading

PixelTools hueShift DCTL Plug-In

Outstanding collection

The PowerGrade collection contains everything that you need to create beautiful pieces of art. It helps me to create the right mood of the message that I want to get accross.

Really useful!

This is a great tool if you want to learn how professional colourists set up their node tree and it also speeds up your own workflow. Definitely a great investment!

Fast and easy

Super easy to handle

Excellent plug-in!

Truly excellent. I can reach certain effects on the hue/sat that would be quite unhandy to do with native Resolve tools or sometimes not really possible at all, with cleaner results and easy to tweak later on. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I think the GUI could be improved. Right now the entire list of adjustments per color is just a bunch of words and sliders. If I'm in a hurry, I can get stuck trying to find the correct slider for what I want to do and waste precious time. Some better spacing and visual aids to find each color/tool would make it faster. Also the implementation on the BM Mini Panel is good, but it's not really optimized. For example: the green Hue, Sat and Den should be on the same page, skin should be on the first page, among other small quality of life stuff I could name... Besides these small things, worth the money!

I used it to grade a music video full of vibrant colours. The density slider was a massive help to tame those colours.

This is a good buy.

There are a lot of options for fixed nodes. It may seem like too much to you, but everyone will be able to choose the option they like. And by the way, I've already received the first update, so the support promises to be good.

Great product

Nice way to mix and add to my own fixed node trees with these amazing node trees from industry professionals!

Must have tool

Useful in every Davinci project, easy and fast correcting impossible. Great value for its robust power and versality. Detailed and well organized manuals, upgrades makes this product even more outstanding.

Time saving + quality

PixelTools hueShift DCTL is a brilliant plug-in, it's making my color grading easier and faster, whilst also upping the quality. Having the saturation, hue, density all on one node is such a time saver, and being able to see the vectors of each color and change them is really powerful. Couldn't recommend this product more!

PixelTools Exposure Collection is great!

I was really impressed with PixelTools Exposure Collection as it made our D.P.’s vision pop more to life. We plan to use this collection on more of our feature films going forward and will out out for their other releases!

A good tool

I believe it's a great tool for creating better colour values in an easy way, which would be much more challenging without this tool. I still need to gain experience and explore all the possibilities, but at this moment, very satisfied.

Pixeltools powergrades

Great power grade for Davinci , very easy to use and efficient to work with ! Perfect result !

Learn

Very nice tool. I learn a lot, just looking at all the nodes !

Superb saturation helper

Hueshift is a hugely useful tool. I use it in almost every shot. Very stable and effective, easy to use. Heavily recommended.

So Far so good

So far, these tools have been very useful. I’ve learned better ways to direct the eye by using the tool and look forward to more products made by pixeltools
