LuttieLuttie docs
How the editor works, panel by panel. New to color grading? Start with your first grade: it takes about five minutes and ends with an exported image.
Getting started
- IntroductionWhat Luttie is, what it's for, and how these docs are organised.
- Your first gradeA complete edit from upload to export in about five minutes, for people who have never graded anything.
- Working with photosWhich image files Luttie opens, how RAW files work, and where your photo goes.
- Working with videoGrading a video clip in Luttie, what the free preview includes, and the length limits.
- Free and ProExactly what you can do without an account, with a free account, and with Luttie Pro.
- Install the appInstall Luttie as a desktop app from Chrome or Edge, so it opens in its own window from your dock or Start menu.
- Browser requirementsWhich browsers and computers run Luttie well, and what to do if the editor doesn't load.
Color grading tools
- The editorA tour of the editor's layout — the left sidebar, the canvas, the panel rail — and how to compare, undo and rearrange panels.
- Basic CorrectionWhite balance and tone — temperature, tint, exposure, contrast, whites, blacks and saturation — and the order to use them in.
- Creative and LUTsApply a ready-made LUT, load your own .cube file, adjust vibrance and faded film, and save your grade as a preset.
- Color WheelsTint the shadows, midtones and highlights separately — the tool behind teal-and-orange, warm highlights and most cinematic looks.
- CurvesThe most precise tone and colour control — a master curve for brightness and separate red, green and blue curves.
- HSL SecondarySelect one range of colour — skin, sky, foliage — and change only that, without touching the rest of the image.
- VignetteDarken or lighten the edges of the frame to pull the eye toward the centre.
