Mononodes – Film Elements v2.0 DCTLS

ilm Elements is a collection of DCTL tools designed to reproduce the subtle qualities of analog film within a digital workflow. Each module emulates a specific optical, photochemical, or physical characteristic such as grain, halation, vignette, lens distortion, flicker, gate weave, and surface artifacts like dust, dirt, and hair. A free demo is available below for direct evaluation.

FILM GRAIN – DCTL
This DCTL reproduces the organic texture and tonal behavior of real film. Its non-repeating, multi-layered grain structure reacts naturally to exposure and color, blending seamlessly with the image instead of sitting on top. Balanced RGB correlation ensures cohesive color, while resolution-aware scaling keeps the texture consistent. Optimized for real-time performance, it delivers a refined, cinematic grain that enhances digital footage with authentic film character.

Developed with the goal of achieving the most organic and visually pleasing film grain possible in digital form.

FILM DIRT – DCTLS
Both Dirt DCTLs offer a wide range of controls to shape the look and behavior of film dirt, dust, and fibers. You can adjust the frequency, size, and overall intensity of the effect, as well as fine-tune how it blends with the image. Included preview options such as Gray Background and Fill Screen make it easy to clearly see adjustments while working. Together, these tools provide a flexible and intuitive way to add authentic analog imperfections to digital footage.

VIGNETTE – DCTLS
Both Vignette DCTLs offer detailed control over image shaping and edge falloff. You can adjust parameters such as size, strength, and falloff to define light distribution, or refine the look with controls like Border Roundness, Anamorphic Stretch, and Offset. Preview options such as Gray Background help visualize the shape precisely during adjustments.

HALATION – DCTL
Halation is a film phenomenon where intense light penetrates the emulsion, scatters within the base, and causes a faint secondary exposure. This reflection primarily affects the red layer of color film, creating a subtle red-orange fringe around bright sources or high-contrast edges. The hue and intensity of this effect can shift with white balance or grading, closely echoing the behavior of real film stocks.

This DCTL recreates halation with adjustable controls for size, intensity, hue, saturation, and threshold. A Halation Checker assists in isolating affected areas, while multiple transfer functions ensure accurate color management across different workflows.

CHROMATIC ABERRATION – DCTL
Chromatic aberration occurs when a lens fails to bring all wavelengths of light into focus at the same point. Each color bends at a slightly different angle as it passes through the glass, producing subtle red, green, or blue fringing along high-contrast edges or near the image periphery.

This DCTL simulates that dispersion effect with independent scaling and blur controls for each color channel. Optional features such as Edge Amount and Show Grid provide precise control and visualization.

EDGE BLUR – DCTL
Edge Blur provides a natural and aesthetically pleasing way to soften the edges of a frame, avoiding the harshness of traditional masks. Built on a vignette-based mathematical approach, it smoothly blends the blur into the image while maintaining a cinematic and organic feel.

Edge Blur allows precise control over blur radius, strength, and falloff, ensuring a gradual and seamless transition.
