Drop a render
Try film looks and colour wheels on it, then export the image or a .cube LUT.
Compare every look on your image
Film looks are colour references inspired by each film, not official studio LUTs. Every look is a real grade (tone curve, three-way colour wheels, hue separation), so it adapts to your image instead of acting like a flat filter.
Image
Match a reference
Drop a film still or any image: its shadow, midtone and highlight colours, contrast, black level, saturation and key hues are transferred to your image.
Look: Teal & Orange
Colour wheels
Tint shadows, midtones and highlights separately. Lightness is preserved. Double-click a wheel to neutralise it.
Colour separation
Pulls every colour toward the look's key hues, like the teal & orange of blockbusters. Neutral greys are left alone.
Export
The .cube LUT (33³, sRGB) applies this exact grade in Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Nuke or OBS.
About the Film Look & Palette
Film Look & Palette is a real color grading tool, not a filter. Each look is a grade computed in the perceptual OKLab color space: a tone curve with highlight roll-off, three-way color wheels that tint shadows, midtones and highlights separately while keeping lightness, hue separation that pulls colors toward a few key hues (teal and orange, cyan and magenta…) and skin-tone protection. Start from looks inspired by well-known films or classic grades, compare them all on your own image, then fine-tune the wheels. Drop a film still to match its look automatically: the colors of each tonal range, contrast, black level, saturation and key hues are transferred to your image. Download the graded image or a .cube LUT for Photoshop, Resolve, Premiere or Nuke. The palette mode extracts the dominant colors of any image and exports them as PNG swatches, Adobe .ase, GIMP/Krita .gpl or text with linear RGB values for Maya, Arnold and RenderMan.
FAQ
Why does it look better than a color filter?
A filter tints the whole image with one color. Here shadows, midtones and highlights get their own color, hues are separated and remapped, skin tones are protected and lightness is preserved, which is how colorists grade films.
How does “Match a reference” work?
It measures the average color of the shadows, midtones and highlights of the reference, its contrast, black level, saturation and dominant hues, and builds a grade that moves your image toward them. Every value stays editable afterwards.
Are these the official LUTs of the films?
No. They are looks inspired by each film's color palette. They give a quick idea of a mood, not an exact match.
Can I use the look in another program?
Yes. Download it as a .cube 3D LUT and load it in Photoshop (Color Lookup), DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, After Effects, Nuke or OBS.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser with WebGL; your files are never uploaded to a server.
