Grade photos like the darkroom is back.
Six studio-grade presets sit on top of eight manual dials — exposure, contrast, saturation, warmth, clarity, bloom, vignette, grain. Push them by feel; the histogram redraws live. Same canvas the rest of the studio uses, the grade chains into resize, convert, compress in a single recipe pass.
Every preset and dial runs on the Canvas API in your browser. The source bytes stay on-device; only the graded output you save touches your disk.

Six grades calibrated for the looks teams ship
Each preset is tuned to a specific look: Clean Product for UI screenshots, Launch Pop for high-energy hero art, Cinematic for muted prestige, Editorial for print-clean detail, Night Mode for dark UI lift, Warm Paper for human-feeling shares. One click applies the grade end-to-end.
Dial console · 8 rotary dials
Sit on top of any preset and dial in the look.
Eight rotary dials cover the macro story (exposure, contrast, saturation, warmth) and the micro feel (clarity, bloom, vignette, grain). The live preview above the bench reflects every push; the L/R meter shows you when output is hot.

Eight controls covering everything from exposure to grain
Sit on top of any preset and dial in the look. Exposure, contrast, saturation, and warmth handle the macro story; clarity, bloom, vignette, and grain handle the micro feel. All eight live on the same console with snap presets and a live histogram readout.
Comparison reels · drag to compare
Three before-and-after reels. Drag the handle.
Three side-by-side comparison frames let you drag a vertical divider between the raw source and the graded output. The handle auto-cycles when idle so the difference reads even on first scroll.

Live histogram
RGB curves redraw as you push the controls
Every push of a dial or swap of a preset re-renders the histogram in real-time — RGB curves stack so you can see when a channel clips or when shadows are crushing. The same canvas-pixel data drives the histogram and the encoder, so what you see is what ships.

Brand-consistent grade across the launch art
Save a tuned grade as a brand recipe — same Cinematic baseline + +6 saturation + -2 vignette — then replay it across hero, OG card, deck cover, and social tiles so the visual identity stays locked across surfaces.

Launch Pop across the campaign hero set
High-energy launch art needs heavy saturation and a touch of bloom to read on busy feeds. Launch Pop applies the recipe in one click; the histogram shows you when shadows are about to crush so you can back off.

Warm Paper for feed cohesion
Instagram and TikTok feeds read better when colour temperature stays consistent. Warm Paper preset locks in a soft warmth + gentle grain, so every post in the grid sits in the same colour family without per-post tuning.

- 01 · 01EXPHighlights · ShadowsNote
Will the preset preserve detail in highlights and shadows?
ResponseYes — every preset is tuned to avoid clipping by default. The histogram readout flags shadow crush or highlight blow-out as you push, and you can dial back any preset's contribution with the manual sliders. Cinematic and Night Mode in particular include protected-highlight curves.
Take · OK01 / 06 - 02 · 01RECRecipe storageNote
Can I save a custom preset that mixes preset + manual tweaks?
ResponseYes. Apply any preset, push the dials to taste, and save the result as a named recipe. The recipe stores the full state — preset baseline + every dial offset — and replays identically across future sources, including in batch mode.
Take · OK02 / 06 - 03 · 01PSTPreset behaviourNote
How does Night Mode differ from Cinematic?
ResponseNight Mode lifts dark UI tones with blue-violet shadow tinting and protects highlights from blowing out — designed for dark-themed product UI screenshots and night photography. Cinematic is more neutral: muted contrast, cool shadows, warm highlights, soft edge falloff. Night Mode shifts hue, Cinematic shifts contrast.
Take · OK03 / 06 - 04 · 01SRCSource integrityNote
Do effects modify the source image?
ResponseNo. Effects render onto a working canvas; the source pixels stay untouched until export. Switching presets or moving dials updates the canvas in real time without re-loading the source. Closing the tab without exporting leaves the file unchanged on disk.
Take · OK04 / 06 - 05 · 01CHNPipeline chainingNote
Can I chain effects with crop, resize, and convert in a recipe?
ResponseYes — that's exactly what recipes are for. Apply Effects, then Crop, Resize, and Convert in a single ordered chain. The studio applies operations in sequence: grade first, frame second, encode last. One source ships as multiple downstream variants in one click.
Take · OK05 / 06 - 06 · 01HSTHistogram fidelityNote
Does the histogram show real values, or is it decorative?
ResponseReal values. The histogram reads the working canvas after every dial push and redraws RGB curves from actual pixel data. Hover any column on the canvas with the eyedropper to see R / G / B / luminance for that sample. What ships at export matches what the histogram shows.
