I assume you mean in the skin tone section? Yes, it's a very subtle adjustment indeed and most of the difference has unfortunately fallen victim to the RUclips compression. Good thing is, if you're interested, you can get the demo and try it for yourself :)

I sent you an email. Should all be sorted now. :)

thanks so much for your kind words!

Hmm that's very odd. What system are you on?

IRIS Density Pro is the the most advanced in terms of features and versatility. Both this one and IRIS Density Pro are equally clean. I'm currently working on a new update for all IRIS DCTLs which will make them even cleaner and better. So the IRIS DCTLs will always be the best ones. This one is just more affordable due to the fewer features but otherwise uses similar math.

@@IridescentColor your density v2 dctl offers highlight preservation and a depth slider. I have not seen them in your iris pro presentation. Is there something comparable in the iris pro density bundle?

@@juusch Yes. The "weight" slider preservation of highlights and the "Preserve Neutrals" Slider does a similar thing to the depth slider.

@@IridescentColorthanks for the answer. In what ways do preserve neutrals differ from the depth slider, and weight from preserve highlights?

@@juusch Depth slider uses a different curve with a different, flatter response towards higher sats, that also happens to preserve neutrals more, while preserve neutrals specifically affects neutrals while not affecting high sat at all. Weight is just more flexible as you can fine tune it with the pivot slider.

Tetra+ uses the same math for density as this one in tetrahedral mode, albeit without the extra sliders.

IRIS Density Pro has a lot more minute control over the hue selection, more features like negative density, and overall more flexibility.This one is just as clean and will do fine if you just want to dial in some clean density and don't need the extra control. Hope that helps! :)

Thanks 👍

yes

@@IridescentColor i think i bought it without making an account on the website because i can't log in? it doesnt' recognise my email if i try lost my password. but i do have the email saying i bought the original

@@DigitalGenki Yes sounds like you bought it without making an account. Just shoot me an email and I can sort you out.

Thanks!

The separately available IRIS Density Pro will remain the pro option for density. I'm currently working on updating the entire IRIS range, so there will be improvements coming to that one as well, although there is no ETA yet.

@IridescentColor What newer more features will this Density Pro DCTL will have?

If in doubt, try it for yourself: ko-fi.com/s/26ab1b213c

@@IridescentColor i want it

Different math. Not sure if this tool is colorspace aware, but the colorslice tool needs to be color space mapped

@@CartyCantDancehow can it be mapped?!

Color Slice tool is great but not really suitable for look (i.e. timeline) level adjustments, as the qualification is too aggressive and some of the other features can introduce artefacts very easily. This DCTL uses much gentler curves and cleans up skin tones by masking off low saturations rather than skin hue, which is a cleaner way to do it. It also just uses different math that looks different.

The color slice tool introduces a lot of noise fast. The math behind the color slice tool is wonky.

@@Huttersvuur agreed. The smoother transients between hues is superior in Mononodes.

Hard to say for sure without seeing the individual case, but the smoother falloff (and the depth slider) should definitely help. If you own V1, best way to find out is to get your free update and try it for yourself (or grab the demo on ko-fi). Will be curious to hear if you think the new one improves things :)

@ I have V1 but I’m struggling to find my account info lol. Should not be an issue :)

@@jarrodbarker If you need help, shoot me an email and I can assist you with recovering the account!

if you have an account, the download will be in your downloads area automatically. If not, shoot me an email and I can assist you. :)

@@IridescentColor Excelent! Thanks for the update!

Hi! Great work. I own V1. How do I download the new version?

@@trondhines4413 if you have a user account on my website, your download should be in the downloads section of your account page. If not, then email me at info (at) iridescentcolor (dot) com and I can assist you.

That's great to hear! Glad you're finding it useful. :)

Thank you so much, and it's my pleasure!

Thank you for your kind words! :)

Currently not, I'm afraid.

Sure it can!

Hmm that's very odd. I've never seen a case where these artefacts remained after clamping unless the node was in an odd blend mode by accident. I'm guessing you're on windows? NVIDIA or AMD?

density pro is a lot "safer" in that it has more guardrails built in to make it better suited for timeline level looks. it also has "negative density" which bleaches out colors and the ability to protect lower sat colors like skin tones. There are also three different versions with more control over hue angle/radius. Plus, instead of selecting different methods you can smoothly morph between them.

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you so much Kaur! Yeah, honestly idk, I was feeling nostalgic so I figured, for old times' sake, I'll make another free one… I should probably stop though lol…

Interesting idea! I'll definitely have a think about it.

@@IridescentColor Thank you so much.

Cheers Max! Good to see you here!

My pleasure! and thank you for your support! Very happy to hear you have enjoyed my tools!

You're most welcome :)

Thank you!

My pleasure :) I hope it's useful!

Thanks for letting me know! Got your email and have just responded. I'm very hopeful we'll be able to fix this :)

I'm thinking about buying this for sure. I was gonna get dehancer but this looks like a great purchase here.

@@TZOBIEntertainment It's worth noting that dehancer and this bundle offer somewhat different things - Dehancer is very much in the "film emulation" camp where the goal is to (theoretically) faithfully emulate characteristics of analog film (including textural effects like halation and grain which I don't currently offer DCTLs for), whereas this bundle is maybe less suitable for a full on film emulation but more powerful and flexible when it comes to exerting authorship over your color look. Some tools, especially the Filmic Tone Curve and Split Tone DCTLs are of course borrowing from film but are not designed to recreate all the characteristics of a specific film stock. These DCTLs also may require a little more practice and patience to master. So definitely good to be aware of the differences so that you purchase the tools that serve you best.

@IridescentColor Thank you for this detailed response. Honestly, everyone is trying to mimic film with their emulators but the truth is that digital can never emulate film accurately. It just can't be done. I'm looking for something that complements my workflow and provides me with something different as opposed to everyone else. I bought Tetra + from you the other day and it's a great addition to my node tree to be honest. I have a few other dctls from different companies that add to my node tree instead of replacing everything. I downloaded the demos for these dctls but for some reason they were not doing anything when I was testing them out and I'm not sure why but I'll try them again. I'm using the Studio version so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

@@TZOBIEntertainment Very fair points! Odd that they weren't working for you. Could be that the download files got corrupted, which does happen once in a while. If you get around to it I'd be grateful if you could redownload and let me know if they still don't work. Would be helpful to know system specs too. DCTLs very rarely have system-specific issues luckily but I've heard of a few cases where AMD GPUs caused problems.

I agree, it's such a game changer and provides both a better experience grading under *and* better results.

Hmmm i think is a preference choice jp2499 is great if your looking for dark colors and warm hues. I think some colorist like cullen, darren, qazi and most colorist are gatekeeping that dctl 😜

This one is an improved version of the free one I released a year or so ago, which iirc was inspired by Cullen quickly giving a peek of his own DCTL (which was not publicly available) in a video a good while ago. I'm pretty sure said DCTL was the direct precursor to the split module in Contour. A lot of my stuff is heavily influenced by Cullen's principles tbh.
