Prime/Grade™ DCTL Plug-In

Prime/Grad - Solid

Prime/Grade™ has become a useful part of my grading workflow. It provides a clean and efficient approach to primary corrections, helping establish a solid foundation quickly while maintaining a natural and professional image.

So good

Prime/Grade™ has become one of the most useful DCTLs in my grading workflow. It helps me separate tones and shape color contrast in a much more natural and controlled way compared to using standard Resolve tools alone. The interface is clean, fast, and easy to experiment with creatively. What I like most is how quickly I can build a cinematic look without fighting the image. It speeds up my workflow a lot, especially during look development and balancing skin tones against the environment. The results feel organic and filmic rather than overly processed. I also appreciate how smoothly it integrates into a professional node tree. It’s one of those tools that quietly becomes essential once you start using it regularly.

Masterful & Essential

This is a must-have tool from Pixel Tools. It's an all-in-one beginning node that gives you fast and consistent balance across projects. Using hue shift, split tone, and Pixel Tools Film Emulsions afterwards gives amazing results. I am finding it much better to stay with a 'system' and a set node tree and use products that are designed to work in concert with each other.
