Nx 3-Strip
Built from the physics of the three-strip dye-transfer process.
Step beyond simple LUTs with Nx 3-Strip—an archive-grade DCTL that reconstructs the iconic three-strip photochemical process from the ground up.
Instead of applying a static color transform, Nx 3-Strip uses physics-based modeling to simulate subtractive dye behavior, spectral separation, and the optical characteristics of historical film printing. By recreating the entire analog pipeline—from light separation to dye interaction and optical diffusion—it produces the dense reds, luminous highlights, and organic imperfections that defined classic cinema.
From subtle dye glow to mechanical registration jitter, Nx 3-Strip transforms sterile digital footage into a living, breathing photochemical image.

Key Features
True Color Separation
Simulates narrow-band capture to “un-mix” overlapping digital channels, producing cleaner, more distinct primary colors characteristic of a three-strip camera.
Subtractive Dye Model
Uses a Beer–Lambert-based system to replicate how real dyes interact—creating a level of color depth and density impossible with standard LUTs.
Organic Optical Scatter
Replaces artificial digital blur with physically inspired light diffusion for a softer highlight roll-off and a more natural, filmic bloom.
Luminous Dye Glow
Recreates the internal warmth and subtle glow of dye-transfer prints, bringing vibrant life to skin tones and midtones.
Mechanical Registration Jitter
Simulates microscopic channel misalignment to break digital perfection and introduce authentic analog movement.
Crisp Shadow Definition
Maintains sharp texture in darker regions while preserving the soft, organic character of the image.
Archive-Grade Accuracy
Built from historical spectral references to closely match the behavior and palette of mid-century Technicolor Process IV prints.
