Studio Tools

Built in production.
Available to the industry.

Every tool here started as an internal problem. A gap in the standard workflow, a process that took too long, a limitation we couldn't accept.

We built solutions. They've been running in our productions for years. Now other studios use them too.

For photographers who care
about the final centimeter.

Retouching
Dodge & Burn Plugin
Adobe Photoshop CC 2023+

Precise tonal control without the friction of manual layer management. Non-destructive dodge and burn on dedicated luminosity-based layers, applied in one action. Built after one too many hours lost to repetitive setup.

Export / Output
Web Sharpening Plugin
Adobe Photoshop CC 2023+

Images lose sharpness on export. This plugin applies a calibrated sharpening pass optimised for screen delivery, with size and compression baked in. One click from retouched file to web-ready output.

Remove the repetition.
Keep the judgement.

Workflow Automation
Scripts & Shortcuts App
Capture One Pro

A collection of scripts and a companion keyboard shortcuts app that automates the repeatable decisions in Capture One. Culling, naming, variant management, export queues. What takes five steps becomes one.

Media management that respects
how productions actually work.

Media Management
MediaTools Pro
macOS · Windows · Electron

Professional media ingest and management for photo and video productions. Structured project folders, proxy generation, DaVinci Resolve integration, audio separation, and organised terminal logging. Built to handle multi-card, multi-camera shoots without losing a single file.

We don't build tools
to sell tools.

These started as internal decisions. A problem we kept hitting. A standard the existing software couldn't hold. We wrote the fix, tested it in production, and kept using it.

When other studios asked how we handled certain parts of the workflow, we packaged what we had. Nothing was designed for demo. Everything here has been on active sets.

The camera remains the starting point. These tools exist to protect the quality of what comes out of it.

Questions about a tool.
Or the work behind it.
