Why Not Just Use Curves, Log Wheels, or OFX Plug-Ins?

Custom Curves - Handle with Caution

The problem with custom curves in DaVinci Resolve is their tendency to introduce unintended changes across the image. Adjusting a specific tonal range with a point on the RGB spline often impacts surrounding areas, including the middle grey zone, leading to shifts that are hard to control. Even with editable splines, achieving precise adjustments is time-consuming and can disrupt the overall curve shape, making look development challenging.

Our Split/Tone™ Pro DCTL collection simplifies this process with specialized guardrails that prevent accidental adjustments to unintended areas. These DCTLs let you quickly create custom split-tone looks using RGB sliders or by selecting hues for highlights and shadows. Plus, features like rollbacks for highlights, shadows, and low-saturation areas make fine-tuning easier—something curves alone can’t achieve without extra work.

Log Wheels - Lacking Precision

The Log Wheels in DaVinci Resolve are excellent for quick, intuitive control over specific areas of the image, making them efficient for many grading adjustments. However, while you can modify the “range” they affect, you can’t customize the shape of the curve they apply, which limits their precision for advanced look development. Additionally, they lack the ability to natively target specific areas without complex keying, adding another layer of difficulty for precise grading.

OFX Plug-Ins - Slow and Overcomplicated

Based on user feedback, OFX plug-ins like FilmBox, Dehancer, Contour and the built-in Film Look Creator offer split-tone options but are often less feature-rich, slower and less intuitive for artists.

Way Easier than Curves

This DCTL gives me everything I need to create beautiful split tone looks. Selecting a hue and strength is much more straightforward than adjusting RGB curves. The saturation mask is my favorite feature - I often have clients request that whites and blacks remain untinted, and the sat mask slider allows me to achieve those nice film look without overdoing it. Highly recommend! This DCTL gives me everything I need to create beautiful split tone looks. Selecting a hue and strength is much...

As good as Contour’s split toning

Ease of use in look creation is as good as Contour’s split toning, with even more options available if needed.

Instead of fiddling [...], you can focus more on the creative effect

I like this DCTL a lot. It’s straightforward to use and has a very good user interface. Instead of fiddling with the native DaVinci tools, you can focus more on the creative effect which you are trying to achieve. Highly recommended. I like this DCTL a lot.
