Thirty starting points
Begin with cinematic, monochrome, warm, cool, split-tone, or utility grades, then customize the treatment.
Change the mood without flattening the work.
Gradient Maps turn tonal values into a deliberate colour grade. Use an editable ramp on an image, a vector composition, or a scoped adjustment layer while the source remains available underneath.
Tone becomes colour
A direct, inspectable grade.
Shadows, midtones, and highlights map to the ramp you choose. Move stops, tune midpoints, preserve source alpha, or lower intensity until the result belongs in the composition.

Built for iteration
The ramp is only the beginning.
Bring your own presets
Import Photoshop .grd files with multiple gradients, opacity stops, midpoints, and clear compatibility warnings.
Keep the source honest
Adjustments remain editable, scoped, undoable, and portable. Built-in and document-local presets never replace source content.
See the tonal input
A source histogram and tonal-distribution preview show what the grade is receiving without creating a second rendering path.
