LuttieColor Match — Transfer Any Color Grade Automatically
Drop in any reference image — a film still, a mood board screenshot, a photo you love — and Luttie automatically analyzes its color palette and transfers it to your footage. Use the strength slider to blend, then export the result as a .cube LUT to apply across your entire edit.
From reference image to matched grade in seconds.
Open your image
Load the photo or video frame you want to grade — JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or RAW.
Drop a reference
Add any reference image — a film still, mood board, or screenshot that captures the color palette you want.
Adjust strength
Use the strength slider to blend between your original colors and the matched result. 75% often feels most natural.
Export as a LUT
Export the matched grade as a .cube file and apply it across your entire timeline in Resolve, Premiere, or FCP.
When to use color match.
Match film stills
Upload a frame from your favorite film and extract its exact color palette. Luttie analyzes the shadows, midtones, and highlights and transfers that character to your own footage.
Replicate mood boards
Pull color grades directly from Pinterest references, Instagram screenshots, or any image that captures the look you're going for — without guessing at curves and wheels.
Consistent grades across shots
Shoot across different cameras or lighting conditions? Match all your clips to a single reference frame for a unified, consistent look throughout your edit.
Frequently asked questions
How does color matching work?
Luttie analyzes the color distribution of your reference image — sampling luminance, hue, and saturation across the full tonal range — and derives a mapping that transforms your source image's colors to match. The algorithm runs entirely in your browser using WebGL, so nothing is sent to a server. You then use the strength slider to blend between the original and the matched result.
Can I export a color-matched grade as a LUT?
Yes. Once you've dialed in the color match and adjusted the strength, you can export the result as a .cube LUT file. That LUT captures the full transformation and can be applied to any footage in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut — making it easy to apply the same matched grade to an entire timeline.
Does color match work on RAW files?
Yes. Luttie decodes RAW files (Sony ARW, Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF, DNG, RAF) directly in the browser before running the color match analysis. This means the match is performed on the full linear data from your camera sensor, giving much more accurate results than working with an exported JPEG.
