DEEP SLIDER
Users can control the impact of the effect on darker hues in shadow
areas by adjusting the “Deep” slider, which has been added into
the “Density” and “Saturation” DCTLs. This addition ensures that
highlights and midtones are getting more excluded.

DENSITY
The pack often includes two DCTLs per category,
each based on different mathematical foundations,
which leads to slightly different results. “T” stands
for Tetra, which I have extended with my own code.
The user can choose which DCTL they prefer to
apply, depending on which yields the most
appealing results for their specific footage. This
flexibility allows for greater customization and
ensures the best possible outcome for each
individual project.
The “Deep” slider enhances the density of colors
in shadow areas, while leaving midtones and
highlights relatively unaltered.

SATURATION
The "Mono Sat" DCTL operates in HSV color space and, in contrast to the
Tetra version, has a “Hue Range” slider. This allows you to determine the
"range" of the selected hue colors. See image:

DESATURATION
The “Desat A” DCTL features six adjustable sliders, which correlate brightness
and hue values. When desaturating colors, blue shifts towards a darker value,
while yellow desaturated produces a lighter value. On the other hand, “Desat B”
DCTL uniformly desaturates all values to a mid-brightness value, giving users
the flexibility to fine-tune the brightness of each hue value as desired.

HUE SHIFT
"Hue-Shift-T-A" DCTL and "Hue-Shift-T-B" DCTL work mathematically
based on the same principle. In my opinion, the 12-slider provides a better
overview and enables faster decision-making for color adjustments. "Hue
Shift" DCTL is very similar to “T” (Tetra Version) but works based on a
different mathematical model, which leads to slightly different results.
All Tetra DCTLs have a small "T" as a symbol in front of the hue icon that
indicates that the math in that DCTL is based on Tetra.
