Hue/Shift is now part of every node tree I use

This tool helped save a few shots on a recent job where I needed to get really surgical on skin with mixed lighting. It was so clean I couldn't believe it. HueShift is now part of every node tree I use. It makes me feel a lot more confident in less than ideal footage.

Great tool to deal with saturation like a pro

I've been using HSV and HSL models to manipulate saturation, but this tool is much more accurate, as you can control each hue separately. Simultaneously, it never produced artifacts.

OUR STORY

hueShift now has a permanent place in my fixed node tree

I love this DCTL. It’s the only DCTL that has a permanent place in my fixed node tree. I couldn’t live without it.

Extremely helpful

I was faced with a particularly difficult challenge for a commercial project: I just couldn't get to grips with the fluorescent colors of a fire engine. With the Hue/Shift DCTL plug-in, I managed to do this within a few minutes. The tool is extremely helpful, produces rich, film-like colors and is easy to use.

Game Changer for Efficient Colour Grading

The Hue/Shift DCTL Plug-In has significantly streamlined my colour grading process. Previously, I had to use three separate nodes in DaVinci's node tree, but now I can adjust hue, density, and saturation all in one go. This not only saves time but also speeds up my workflow, making it much easier to create the desired filmic look.

Any colour you want

I’m a visual 2d artist in the fields of still photography and a painter of the natural world, and have just moved into the beginnings as a film producer. Your product has given me the tools to create the creative colour palette to achieve the final result that I’ve been searching for, thank you .

im loving DCTL plug in

hueshift is a game-changer! This plug-in's seamless integration and intuitive interface make it a breeze to use. Its wide array of features and versatility offer endless possibilities. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, DCTL is a must-have tool for any enthusiast.

MUY BUENO

Excelente adición a mi pequeña colección de dctls, muy útil y rápida para modificar colores o grupos de colores específicos sin tener que usar el gotero, 100% recomendado.

Farbkorrektur ganz einfach

Mit dem Tool ist es ganz leicht bestimmte Farben zu verbessern ohne die Komplementär Farben zu verändern. Leicht und schnell.
