First time used this tool. Eventhough, I’m a newbie, it was so easy to apply those grades. Really recommend this tool!!
The Light Shaping Collection is a practical set of PowerGrades that helps speed up common relighting and viewer-attention techniques inside DaVinci Resolve. The tools are easy to apply and provide a quick starting point for creating subtle vignettes, directional light, edge control, and subject emphasis. While the techniques can be built manually using native Resolve tools, having them pre-configured saves time and helps maintain consistency across projects. A useful workflow enhancement for colorists looking to work more efficiently.
Light Shaping Collection
Fast and easy way to make spot on subjects and much faster if I should have done this by myself.
I can really recommend this product, its great
Quick and easy presets with multiple options for shaping light. Easy to grab and drop into your node tree and adjust from there.
Nice set to speed up grading
I really love this one. It saves me a lot of time by handling all the tedious tasks. Super handy to have when I need to drop the right vignettes onto my clips.
Powergrade collection has really sped up my workflow. It's an amazing starting point and really helps me work in a color managed space. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to dial in their look
I was a student of Jason Masterclass some time ago and I really appreciated his unique way to simplify even difficult matters about color grading. So I thought it was an intelligent thing to purchase some of the tools he designed for everyone that want to become a real professional. About the Light Shaping Collection I just can confirm my intuition: these are really incredible tools, designed and built with much love and passion and I sincerely think that we all should be grateful to PixelTools Team for providing us such instruments and for pushing, always and restless, towards a professional and serious way to think about images and how much powerful meanings and emotions we can express when we color grade. Thanks from the deep of my heart.
These are one of the most useful tools to have in your arsenal. They have become an integral part of my workflow. These make lighting issue an ease to fix.
I use these powergrade all the time
New to using the tool in Resolve Studio but seems like a great tool.
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.
Super easy to handle
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
This tool not only helps me better my grades in Davinci Resolve, but it also helps me think more critically when shaping light on sets and during my various filming projects. This is truly a golden asset to keep in your bag of tricks !!
Very useful in my workflow!
I now have three of the plugins from Pixel Tools and the pinpoint controls that they provide have been a game changer for me. I am an one man band and work on tight deadlines. My grading is near pro level without having to dedicate my life to the craft. Clients love the results.
This bundle is the first product i bought from you, but it will not be le last!
I had a great pleasure to work in a so simplified way, avoiding complicated workflows. This are tools that ignite creativity! Thank you!
Instead of building those mattes from fresh every time, these powergrades now fit into my workflow seamlessly, saving me time and energy. Why didn't I ever build them myself and keep them saved??
I wish I was across these earlier. Fundamental building blocks that have helped to take a clean workflow further. Very well put together package in comparison to any add on tools or packs in software space. Well done!
The Light Shaping Power Grade Collection is a robust and very user friendly way to shape light within Davinci Resolve. Simple to use with many options that can be tweaked if necessary.
Really useful to speed up my process, great way to shape light!
When I need to adjust the lighting, the Light Shaping Collection is a very quick and easy way to get there without much fuss. I take a vignette, a gradient that suits my idea, drag it onto my clip and change the slider settings as I need it. In a simple, intuitive way. A kind of "Swiss Army Knife" for the lighting ;-) I don't want to be without it anymore.
A useful tool in my daily editing, from corporate tutorial to alternative music video.
A very nice set of tools that helps me tweak and shape the lighting in post. Instead of having to start from scratch every time I need to set up a gradient, vignette, simulate a flag or similar, I can grab one of these and get the work done much faster. It really speeds up my workflow having a predefined set of tools like these, and time is money!
Sometimes being under pressure to finish a project. Having a good starting base for a fast solution to commen problems or look developments makes the difference into being able to get there in time. This collection provides exactly this and is worth it!
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the Light Shaping Collection?
The Light Shaping Collection includes 45 PowerGrade .drx files and a DaVinci Resolve project that installs them, built around 16 relighting presets. The tools let you reshape and relight an image after the shoot. You can add or subtract light, guide the viewer's eye, and rebalance exposure across the frame without going back on set.
What does "light shaping" actually do to my footage?
Light shaping means selectively adjusting brightness and falloff across the frame to change where the light appears to come from. The adjustments use realistic linear exposure, so added and subtracted light behaves the way it does in-camera and relit shots stay believable rather than looking painted on.
Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio, or does the free version work?
The free version of DaVinci Resolve works. These are PowerGrades, not plug-ins, so they load in both the free edition and Resolve Studio. No Studio purchase is required to use the collection.
Which Resolve versions and platforms are supported?
The Light Shaping Collection supports DaVinci Resolve 17.4.6 and later on macOS, Windows and Linux. No iPad support.
Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?
One-time payment, no subscription. Updates are free for the version you own. Major versions are discounted paid upgrades for owners.
How do I install and use the presets?
You get an instant download after purchase with the .drx files and the installer project. Open the included Resolve project to load all 45 PowerGrades into your gallery, then drag one onto a clip and refine it with the drag-and-drop controls built into each grade.
