Intuitively shape lighting ratios at the shot level with the Contrast Shaper DCTL

Built as a modern replacement for Lift Gamma Gain and the HDR tab, the Contrast Shaper DCTL...

1. Offers intuitive zonal controls for Blacks, Darks, Shadows, Midtones, Highlights, and Whites (plus a unique Toe Volume control for shaping the shadows)
2. Stays incredibly smooth during complex adjustments
3. Maintains middle-gray exposure when possible, eliminating the need for constant back-and-forth adjustments
4. Includes a highly customizable contrast/pivot control
5. Makes it easy to analyze on-set lighting ratios and communicate with the DP

Also included is an alternative Primary Shaper DCTL that adds photometrically accurate Temp & Tint controls for an all-in-one primaries tool:

And there's even a completely free LITE version for those who are just looking for the customizable contrast/pivot functionality. See below!

P.S.: If you're interested, I highly recommend downloading the free demo to get a feel for it yourself. For a tool you'll use on every shot, the way each slider feels in your hands is super important. The demo is fully-featured and lasts forever, so feel free to test run for as long as you need – and let me know if you have any questions!
