I use this tool in all my clip-level stacks

I use this tool in all my clip-level stacks - absolutely LOVE it! The false color tool and skin checker alone are worth it. Plus, its logical top-down organization makes it easy to dive in and get to work. I use this tool in all my clip-level stacks - absolutely LOVE it! The false color tool and skin checker...

Packed with useful features

The DCTL takes a lot of work out of using different functions within Resolve that are a pain to handle (HSV sat, linear gain, etc). It’s packed with useful features, and I’m glad I purchased it.

Worth Every Penny! SO Good!

I love a minimalist node tree. This allows me to have all my primaries smashed into one node. The false color checkers are so useful too. Love how I can adjust contrast and saturation models if I desire. I love a minimalist node tree. This allows me to have all my primaries smashed into one node. The false...

Very Effective DCTL

I use several DCTLs from PixelTools, and they are awesome. Very versatile (colorspace aware) and clear. I use several DCTLs from PixelTools, and they are awesome.

PixelTools/Kaur does it again!

I've spent so much time learning proper workflows for grading. Linear gain exposure vs. offset, linear balancing, contrast adjustments, etc. Prime/Grade takes all of that and puts it into a single easy to use DCTL. This tool literally combines 3 nodes in my workflow and makes it incredibly easy to work fast without worrying about what is happening under the hood of your nodes. I love the fact that it's compatible with my mini panel, but the sliders give you easy access to adjustments when working on the go. This is a must have tool!

Powerful, efficient, and worth every cent!

The Prime/Grade DCTL Plug-In from Pixeltools has been a game-changer in my DaVinci Resolve workflow. It delivers precision grading tools with an intuitive interface, allowing me to achieve cinema-grade looks faster and more consistently.

What stood out most is how it elevates colour control—everything feels more dialled in, from subtle adjustments to bold looks. It’s made my grades look more professional with less effort, and I now rely on it for nearly every project.
