Color Grading
The creative process of altering and enhancing the color of an image to achieve a specific mood, style, or visual narrative.
Color grading goes beyond correction to apply artistic color treatments. While color correction aims for accuracy, color grading aims for emotion. A warm orange-teal split tone creates a cinematic summer feel. Desaturated blues with lifted shadows produce a moody editorial look. Film emulation grades replicate the characteristics of classic film stocks like Kodak Portra or Fuji Velvia. Professional colorists use curves, color wheels, and LUTs to craft signature looks. Social media has popularized color grading through filters and presets that apply complex grading in one click. Magic Eraser's AI Filter tool provides one-tap creative grading that applies cohesive color treatments while preserving skin tones and key details.
