Part 2: Exploring a complete FPE PowerGrade built around Resolve’s native FPE LUTs
In the first episode of this series we examined Resolve’s built-in film print emulation (FPE) LUTs. Now we’ll look at the PixelTools’ flexible ‘Film Lab Powergrades’, which builds a more fully-featured FPE pipeline around those stock DaVinci Resolve FPE LUTS. Film Lab PowerGrades includes additional nodes and operations for:
- Saturation and look enhancements
- Adding grain and halation attributes
- Enabling blur – mimicking the slightly unsharp look of theatrical film prints
All of this is delivered in a pre-built node structure that’s logically organized and neatly arranged. It’s an accessible FPE solution that doesn’t require any additional LUTs, DCTLs or OFX plugins. This premium PowerGrade package is designed to work with both the free and paid versions of any standard DaVinci Resolve installation.

It’s just my professional evaluation of how this package is organized and because it helpfully informs us about the various aspects of film emulation techniques that we need to understand.
