Reacts just like RAW Controls, but faster
Exposure/Tool seamlessly integrate with Resolve Color Management (DaVinci Intermediate) and ACES workflows, ensuring accurate and consistent color management throughout your entire post-production pipeline.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

Exposure/Tool™ DCTL — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Exposure/Tool™ DCTL?
A simple, precise exposure DCTL for DaVinci Resolve that adjusts exposure in real photographic stops — intuitive, accurate and camera-like — without the guesswork. It maintains clean black levels, avoiding the shadow shifts you get from Offset, Printer Points or LGG moves.
What's included?
The Exposure/Tool™ DCTL plus a unique “Fill Exposure” control that adds soft, targeted light below middle gray to lift shadow detail without flattening the image, a visual Fill roll-off curve overlay, and a Base Setup PowerGrade to get started instantly. It works with all major log formats (ARRI LogC3/4, RED IPP2, Sony S-Log2/3, Canon Log, DJI D-Log, Panasonic V-Log) and is color-managed for DaVinci Wide Gamut, ACES and RCM.
Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio?
Yes. Exposure/Tool™ is a DCTL, and DCTL plug-ins run only in DaVinci Resolve Studio — they aren't supported in the free edition.
How do I install it?
Installation is handled by the free PixelTools installer app: download it, run the installer, and Exposure/Tool™ is placed in the correct Resolve folder automatically.
Can I try Exposure/Tool™ before buying?
Yes. A free Exposure/Tool™ demo is available to load into your own footage first.
Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription?
A one-time purchase with a perpetual license and free lifetime updates — no subscription.
