Color Grading

Coordinate brightness, contrast and color relationships to give footage a consistent, purposeful visual atmosphere.

Prompt

Apply a restrained post-production color mapping to the exact selected baseline A image, not a relighting. Use a gentle RGB color balance: cool blue-teal tint only within already existing dark tones, a slight warm tint only within already existing bright tones, and natural skin midtones. Keep the original luminance map, exposure, local brightness relationships and every light-shadow boundary exactly as in A. In particular the left wall, left floor, ceiling and character edge must not gain new illumination or bright patches. Do not introduce sunlight, golden-hour light, rim light, light rays, window-light bands or glowing highlights. Do not deepen, widen or move any shadow. Preserve the red tie and red hair streak, navy garment detail and all original figure and background pixels' spatial locations. The visible change must be color grading alone.

Other techniques

In the baseline image, Zlatia and the corridor retain relatively neutral original colors.

The graded version cools the shadows and corridor columns while preserving some warmth in the existing highlights, with clothing and architecture staying in the same positions.

The divider moves automatically. Hover or focus to pause and drag it.

Effect comparison

In the baseline image, Zlatia and the corridor retain relatively neutral original colors. The graded version cools the shadows and corridor columns while preserving some warmth in the existing highlights, with clothing and architecture staying in the same positions. The same lighting structure develops a clearer division between warm and cool areas, changing the overall color atmosphere.
