Cinematic color control
The Color Grading presets come in four distinct tones: Duotone, Blue, Gold, and Green, with both low and high variations for each. From subtle image color changes to bold photo color grading, these presets give you flexible options to match any mood.
Cool shadows meet warm highlights for a complementary palette. CG1 keeps things soft and low-contrast, while CG2 pushes saturation and contrast for a bolder mood.
Shift into calm, reflective tones with CG3, or energize your work with the color and contrast of CG4. Perfect for video color correction or photo edits where atmosphere matters.
Capture warmth and emotion. CG5 offers muted, longing tones while CG6 creates glowing, radiant energy. Both are ideal for portraits, travel, or storytelling with emotional depth.
Embrace a serene mood with CG7 or explore high-intensity green grading with CG8. Depending on your subject, this preset can feel eerie and dramatic or fresh and full of life.
