Film Lab PowerGrade Collection

The PixelTools Film Lab PowerGrade Collection is an elegant and highly usable bundle of film-inspired PowerGrades for DaVinci Resolve. Built around the timeless Kodak 2383 print stock, it delivers authentic photochemical character while staying fully scene-referred and ready for SDR, HDR, and Cinema P3 workflows. The drag-and-drop approach makes creating film looks fast and intuitive, without relying on external plug-ins or complex setups.
With broad camera support, integrated grain, halation, and diffusion presets, and a clean Arri Log C pipeline, Film Lab is an ideal starting point for look development that still leaves plenty of room for personal refinement. Add the no-hassle licensing and free updates, and it becomes a reliable, everyday tool for modern colorists chasing classic film aesthetics.

It's great to learn about configuring and setting up nodes.

The Film Lab Collection proved to be a great addition to my toolbox. I usually work with my custom designed template node trees a lot, but I love the fact that I can very quickly get great looking results with the provided Film Lab node trees as these are quite similar to my own workflow. This is perfect for quick string-outs but also for in-depth grading work, as everything is neatly separated into logical (compound) nodes which gives me all the control and creative freedom I need. And since everything is also provided as individual elements, I have actually started to add parts to my own node tree template. I usually do look dev on the timeline level, and this makes it very easy to combine everything as needed. Thank you PixelTools for the great work!

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

Its great to get a starting looks quickly.

PixelTool's stuff is always great and happy to see some stocks added to DWG. Keep up the great work!

The collection is designed to replicate film stocks and professional cinematic looks, making it easier to achieve high-quality visuals without extensive manual adjustments.

I recently purchased the Film Lab powergrades to make my workflow more efficient. I already own several PixelTool products and this product is another winner for me. Thanks Jason and team.

PixelTools film lab is a great product to get you to quickly emulate film print and negative all native to resolve which means fast render / playback compared to some third party plugins.
The latest version gives you more options and the way the power grades are set up, you understand how the FEP is constructed allowing you great flexibility to get the desired result.
Like other PixelTools products I own, the craftsmanship and support is top shelf.

I've only just started using this powergrade collection, but already find them super useful for getting inspiration at the start of a project. The guide that comes with them makes them super easy to manipulate to push in any direction you want to go.

I believe this product to be the best purchase I’ve made in a while. No shortcuts were taken , the product was carefully created . The outcome after added to footage is simply satisfying. Easy to use no confusion .

I purchased this to expedite my post work for fast turn around and dang! There's something in here for anything I need to make. Highly recommend!!

The Hue/Shift is an amazing tool for adjusting and fine tuning color in Resolve. Expecially the color density-tap does incredible things!

I'm still going through all the looks, but so far so good.

As an editor who often color grades as well, this has been an invaluable addition to my arsenal! This gives you a great place to start and is easy to use, however is definitely robust.

At first I was a little skeptical... then like you I watched dozens of videos but with the DEMO version I quickly realised that I had finally found the tool I needed to make my videos more lively and organic! no more bland skies and an abcense of texture in the clouds and no more pale green on the grass! I've found my companion for the Wow effect that I've been looking for a long time without ever finding anything about saturation subtraction!

I’m really new to all of this and pixel tool allowed my to be diligent with my work. It’s very helpful for beginners!

Better than LUTs, the Lab Collection reproduces the feel of classics lab colours like Kodak 2383 and is a great tool to learn the building blocks of powergrading, with the possibility to fine-tune those classics to our taste. Pixeltools also promises to add more Kodak lab film grades in the future, for free!

PixelTools Film Lab Collection

Useful powergrades can help cut hours of your color session time. PixelTools are a standard part of my Resolve system, and they help give you a great finishing touch on any project.

After learning about PixelTools (thanks Darren) and then eyeing the film lab collection for a while I finally had to get it and what a set of Powergrades.
As non-destructive, editable grades you can apply and tweak to suit your needs. The best bit is to take a look at how they built it all up to understand more about what goes into emulating a film look.
The utilities are great as they give you specific elements you can drop into your own work when you only need a bit of something rather than the entire package.

I bought these powergrades to get more insight into building out effective node trees! Definitely an excellent investment!

Some of the best Resolve PowerGrades to help get that film look faster! Can’t go wrong.

I’ve been using the free powergrade earlier. I was so impressed by it and purchased the whole film lab collection. So far this has been really useful and a great starting point to kickstart my grading. The best thing about this is it doesn’t use any built in film look LUT. Everything is non destructive and nodes and well organised so that you can use this one as a great starting point. Most of the time just balance the exposure, set the colour temp right. And there you go. You will have a great grade. Highly recommend.

I’m really not an expert in color grading which is why I love the PowerGrade collection as I’m able to deconstruct how experts do it. It’s really quite helpful to be able to see the nodes used in the PowerGrades. Highly recommended.

The PixelTools Film Lab PowerGrade is a powerful set of tools that beats LUTs. These nodes are customizable down to the core. You're not limited to what's precoded in the LUT. Having the ability to change attributes depending on your footage is amazing to have and feels way better than most plugins.

As every body likes the film look, earlier I tried with luts and did get some results but with PG's its all different altogether. The expansion allowed for tweeking and get the feel I like. I am still delving into these and experimenting them. So far, I am satisfied.
Thanks PT for good solution.

This is my second power grade collection from PixelTools. Certainly didn’t disappoint and I love the flexibility with the node trees. Very tasteful power grades indeed.

I am more than satisfied with PixelTools.
