Grading Tools

Industry-Standard Color Science for Keyframes and Global Sequences

Grade your timelapses with the precision of a dedicated post-production suite. Built on an industry-standard ACES color pipeline and powered by a non-destructive 32-bit float engine, Lumina provides the exact tools colorists rely on—whether you are finessing individual anchor keyframes or locking in a unified aesthetic across your entire sequence.

Precision Multi-Zone Masking

Targeted vector & tonal masks

Isolate specific areas instantly with linear gradients, radial shapes, selective luminosity masks, and refined HSL qualifiers.

Real-time mask overlay:

Toggle a high-contrast visual matte display with a single click to inspect selection boundaries, verify falloff gradients, and eliminate edge fringing.

Dynamic Range & Luminance Controls

Direct tonal recovery :

Dial in fundamental scene balance with dedicated tactile sliders for Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Midtones, Shadows, Whites, and Blacks—extracting the full dynamic range of your RAW files with smooth, filmic roll-off.

Advanced Parametric Tone Curve

Go beyond linear sliders with comprehensive point and parametric tone curve. Sculpt deep contrast profiles, roll off highlights organically, and fine-tune localized tonal zones across the luminance spectrum.

Color Balancing

Natural ambiance calibration

Correct white balance drift and set ambient mood with pinpoint Temperature and Tint adjustments, paired with smart Vibrance and Saturation.

Industry-standard grading wheels

Stylize sequences using traditional 3-way color wheels (Shadows/Lift, Midtones/Gamma, Highlights/Gain). Split-tone day-to-night transitions, introduce rich atmospheric hues, and maintain balanced color contrast throughout the timeline.

Real-time Waveform Monitoring analysis

Eliminate exposure guesswork using a responsive, objective waveform scope to monitor luminance distribution, balance color channels, protect shadow details, and ensure peak highlight retention.
