PRIME/GRADE
The One-Node Primary Tool
Prime/Grade is an all-in-one primaries DCTL for DaVinci Resolve. It consolidates exposure, contrast, balance, and saturation into a single step, letting you build a clean, balanced image without stacking nodes.
Exposure is handled through Linear Gain, Gain, or Offset. Flare and Fill shape the toe, with Fill using an in-house design that lifts shadows without flattening contrast. Contrast offers both S-Curve and Linear behavior, and Temp/Tint balancing operates across Linear Gain, Gain, or Offset. Saturation is built on a subtractive model for a more film-like response under heavy grading.
Five built-in checkers help you read the image as you grade: a ±5 stop False Color, Skin Tone, White Balance, Middle Gray, and Negative. Prime/Grade works internally in DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate and supports the same 23 Transfer Functions as the rest of the PixelTools line, so it drops into ACES, RCM, and manual CST workflows without fuss.
