Color Shaper DCTLs are specialized tools for DaVinci Resolve Studio designed to provide colorists with highly focused control over individual hues. This approach enables precise corrections in shadows, midtones, or highlights without disturbing the rest of the image, making it an essential tool for scene-specific color refinement.
What is Color Shaper DCTLs?
Color Shaper DCTLs are digital control transformation LUT extensions that function as precision color adjustment tools within DaVinci Resolve Studio. Each DCTL in the pack targets a single hue—such as red, green, blue, or skin tones—and offers controls like Center, Hue Range, Luminance, and Luma Range.

Why should use this color grading tool?
This color grading tool because it provides precise control over individual hues and their luminance ranges, allowing adjustments to affect only the shadows, midtones, or highlights within that hue. This method helps solve specific color issues in a scene without changing the overall look of the image. By working hue by hue, the tool supports accurate corrections that are often more efficient than using global adjustments or manual qualifiers.
What are the benefits of Color Shaper DCTLs?
Color Shaper DCTLs are designed for professional colorists who need precise control over hue and luminance in DaVinci Resolve Studio. Instead of making broad changes, these tools let you refine individual colors with accuracy, making them valuable for both corrective and creative workflows.
Targeted Adjustments
- Each DCTL allows you to isolate a single hue, define its range, and adjust saturation, density, or hue values. This ensures that changes impact only the selected color without altering other areas of the image.
Luminance Control
- You can apply modifications to specific luminance zones—shadows, midtones, or highlights—within the chosen hue. This provides greater flexibility for addressing color issues tied to lighting or exposure.
Workflow Efficiency
