COMPLETE THE WORKFLOW

A DCTL and PowerGrade Collection for DaVinci Resolve designed around classic two-strip and three-strip Technicolor color separation principles from films of the 1920s to 1950s.

Built for colorists and finishing artists who want a controllable vintage palette and density that behaves like a professional tool, not a one-click preset.

Features

3-Strip Color Separation — Applies controlled channel crosstalk inspired by the Technicolor dye transfer process to create bold, pleasing color contrast and separation.
Two-Strip Palette Mode — Produces the limited red-green color response characteristic of early Technicolor for stylized vintage and period looks.
Automatic Skin Protection — Compresses color volume while preserving natural-looking skintones.
Independent PowerGrade Looks — Five curated looks that explore different Technicolor-inspired palettes, separate from the DCTL behavior.
DCTL + PowerGrade Toolkit — The DCTL provides adjustable color science behavior, while the PowerGrades provide distinct creative starting looks.
Look Development Tool — Designed for palette creation, not shot-matching, helping establish a consistent project-wide look.
Wide Color Management Support – Designed around DaVinci Wide Gamut (DWG) and fully compatible with ACES and other professional color managed workflows.
Broad Camera Compatibility — Works perfectly with ARRI, RED (IPP2), Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Blackmagic, Apple Log, DJI, and any input supported by RCM or Color Space Transforms (CST).
Crafted by Professional Colorists — Developed by working colorists for real-world film, TV, commercial, and streaming workflows.
No Hassle Licensing – One-Time Payment, No Subscription, Free Updates
PixelTools x KaurH - Collaboratively developed with KaurH
