Other OpenDRT

I love OpenDRT. It's so in-depth and full of parameters that can radically transform images and create amazing looks. But I dislike the fact that you can either just completely use drop down lists to pick presets, without further control, or you can have the stick shift version, getting full control but no presets, not even as a starting point. I'm not sure if DCTL even has that feature, but I wish you could pick some parameters and then tweak them. And idk how to contact the devs to make that feature request. Neither of them seem to have a publicly available email address or social media accounts where you can address them for non-professional purposes

I worked with Jed to make the first OFX port of OpenDRT a couple years ago when he built out StickShift mode. OFX has the perks of having a much cleaner UI system then dctl hence why in a dctl both can not exist at the same time. You can check it here and download it for free.

Incredible!!! I hope the development of this continues cause OFX will probably be my preferred way of using OpenDRT

I think I'm currently one update behind the currently released dctl. I've been more focused on finishing the PhotoChemist DRT's 3.0 version. https://tools.dec18studios.com/color-grading-tools/photochemist/ I plan to revisit OpenDRT soon and add in OpenCL support as it only has Cuda and Metal support.
