Control Exposure in Stops

Using exposureTool has not only helped me improve my workflow, but also has allowed me to achieve excellent results in a faster and more efficient manner.

J. Smith

Super fast and easy to use. I love how easy it is to precisely add a bit of detail in the shadows with beautiful roll-off without messing with the black point.

David J.

I’ve made the PixelTools exposure Tool DCTL part of my regular pipeline. I love the ability to set the correct working space and dial in the right fill and roll off. Wonderful results, wonderful tool!

Jarryd H.

I am absolutely happy to be using this tool. It has had a tremendous impact on my workflow. I highly recommend it - a 100% must-have!

David R.

An excellent tool to ease the learning curve and get immediate results.

Compared to Native Resolve Tools

The native resolve tool (offset) results in slightly milky shadows due to to its tendency to raise the black levels.
Our exposureTool DCTL does not have the same issue, allowing you to grade faster.

Life Changer

This is so much better than the limitations inherent with the HDR Exposure dial on my panel. Having access to exposure level, fill exposure, fill roll-off, and being able to see the fill curve is a great addition. Another thing that speeds things up are the PowerGrades that you can pull over with various preset stops +/-. With Live Preview engaged, you can roll across the Powergrades and find a nice starting point. It might be nice to have .25 +/- stops in the future, but that would be my only suggestion, and you can make a .25 stop version yourself in seconds. It’s now in my standard node tree. Nice work, PT.

Thanks for the great feedback, Scott!

Great collection, great method

Briefly, I’m a fan of grading products because of: how great they look right out of the box (and able to solve more complex problems that I would have expected), how easy they are to tune, and how much I can learn from using them as starting points. Many thanks for the great tools!

Ideal for newbie!

Finally got into more advanced grading with Resolve, PixelTools PowerGrades looked ideal to get me started, and the installation tutorial was easy to follow. So far I'm not disappointed with the results, will look to add more from PixelTools as I get more experienced

High quality tool for speeding up Exposure

A high quality tool that speeds up the work process. The Pro Version is advantageous cause of its fine-tuning possibility. You dont wanna miss it :-)
