A unique deep slider allows for adjusting only the darker tonal ranges, giving you the ability to add richness to shadows without affecting midtones or highlights.

The PixelTools HueShift DCTL plugin simplifies complex color matrix transformations into an intuitive, high-performance slider system. By handling hue variations and color density simultaneously, it saves valuable time during fast-paced commercial or narrative color grading sessions. By properly structuring your node workflow and utilizing the plugin within a managed color environment, you can achieve cleaner, deeply saturated, and highly cinematic images with minimal effort.

: Apply the DCTL in a DaVinci Wide Gamut (DWG) or DaVinci Intermediate color space. It is designed to work seamlessly within these large-gamut pipelines.

PixelTools HueShift DCTL is a compact, well-designed color-shifting tool for DaVinci Resolve that gives editors fast, controllable hue and saturation manipulation without needing large node trees or external plugins.

Traditional HSL qualifiers create harsh edges that require blurring and denoising. HueShift modifies the entire color matrix globally or via smooth mathematical falloffs, resulting in clean, noise-free images. Why Use DCTLs Over Native Resolve Tools?

Color grading is the secret weapon of modern filmmaking. It transforms raw footage into cinematic art, dictates the emotional tone of a scene, and establishes a project's visual identity. While color grading suites like DaVinci Resolve offer robust native tools, professionals constantly seek greater precision, speed, and mathematical purity in their workflows.

The plugin provides granular, slider-based control over seven major vectors: Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and specific Skin Tone controls.

It allows individual control over saturation and density for each color, enabling precise color grading 1.2.1.

Despite correct installation, sometimes the DCTL fails. Here are common issues and fixes.

A lightweight, practical DCTL that excels at fast, creative hue shifts with minimal overhead — great as a colorist’s quick toolset for stylized tweaks, though not a substitute for full HSL secondaries or advanced masking when precise keys are required.

PixelTools offers a suite of DCTLs: HueShift, SatComp (saturation compression), and LumaMap (contrast via hue). Here’s an advanced node tree:
