LuttiePhoto color grading
Color grade photos in your browser with the tools video colourists use: curves, colour wheels, HSL secondaries and film stocks. Nothing to install, and your photos stay on your computer. Grading is free; a free account's export carries a watermark.
What you grade a photo with.
Basic correction
Fix exposure, contrast and white balance first, so the grade sits on a clean image.
RGB curves
Shape the tones and bend each colour channel on its own for precise contrast and colour.
Colour wheels
Push colour into the shadows, midtones and highlights separately, the way video colourists do.
HSL secondaries
Pick one colour, such as a sky or a jacket, and change only that.
Film stocks
Run the photo through a film engine: a colour negative, then a print or a scan.
LUTs
Start from a ready-made look, or load your own .cube file, then adjust it.
How to color grade a photo.
Step 1
Open your photo
Drop in a JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC. It opens in your browser and isn't uploaded.
Step 2
Correct, then grade
Balance the exposure and white balance, then build the look with curves, wheels, HSL or a film stock.
Step 3
Check it on the whole set
Open several photos together and they share one grade, so a shoot stays consistent.
Step 4
Export
Save the graded photo. A free account's export carries a watermark; Pro removes it.

Frequently asked questions
It's changing the colours and tones of a photo to give it a deliberate look: warmer, cooler, more muted, more contrasty, or shaped like a particular film. Colour correction comes first and makes the photo accurate; grading is the creative step after it.

Lightroom is a photo library and RAW developer you install and subscribe to. Luttie is a colour grading editor that runs in a browser tab, with the colour wheels and curves used in video grading, and it can save a grade as a LUT for video editors. It doesn't organise or catalogue your photos.
