L.U.T: Color Grading for Video & Photo - Cinema Grade App

This application provides filmmakers with an intuitive solution for achieving a distinctive cinematic look without the hassle of navigating complicated grading tools. Its user-friendly interface allows for efficient color grading that enhances visual storytelling.

Understanding the Difference Between Color Correction and Color Grading

Despite utilizing similar tools and software, color correction and color grading represent distinct approaches in the creative process. Color correction focuses on technical adjustments such as removing imperfections from an image, correcting skin tones, and ensuring compositional accuracy. Additionally, it involves harmonizing footage from multiple cameras to create a cohesive visual style throughout a scene.

In contrast, color grading is a more artistic process, applying specific adjustments to produce a desired stylistic effect. This can include enhancing shadow details to evoke a modern feel or highlighting key characters by tracking and illuminating their features within matched shots.

An essential principle in both processes is to utilize non-destructive methods for color selection. Filmmakers are encouraged to start with a neutral or flat camera profile, or a log profile when available. Furthermore, rendering CGI using high bit depth file formats maximizes flexibility in both correction and grading workflows.

Why These LUTs Stand Out

The expertise gained from developing Instagram video filters has been applied in creating 3D LUTs (Look Up Tables) designed to perform effectively across various lighting conditions and subjects. What differentiates these cinematic LUTs is their capacity to execute complex color grades while accurately emulating the subtle nuances and tonal shifts characteristic of major Hollywood productions, as crafted by professional colorists.
