Frequently Asked Questions
What is color grading?
Color grading is the process of adjusting and correcting colors in images to achieve a desired aesthetic, mood, or style.
What does hue adjustment do?
Hue adjustment rotates all colors in your image around the color wheel, shifting blues to greens, reds to oranges, etc.
How does saturation affect my image?
Saturation controls color intensity. Higher values make colors more vivid, while lower values create a more muted, desaturated look.
What is color balance?
Color balance lets you shift the overall temperature of your image between warm (reddish) and cool (bluish) tones.
Can I reset the adjustments?
Yes! Simply refresh the page or reload your image to reset all sliders to their default values.
Is color grading permanent?
Only if you download the image. The original file remains unchanged until you save the graded version.

What the adjustment changes
Color grading changes the appearance of existing image colors; it does not recover clipped highlights, missing detail, or unavailable source color information.
Tips for better results
Start with moderate settings and compare the preview with the original. Strong adjustments can intentionally reduce subtle detail or produce a more stylized appearance.
