What is Cinematic Grade?
Cinematic Grade is an AI colour-grading app that transforms any photograph into a Hollywood-style frame. It applies the well-known teal-and-orange look — pushing skin tones into a warm orange and shadows into a cool teal — together with high contrast, fine film grain, and a subtle anamorphic lens flare across bright highlights. You drop in any photo and the model returns a graded version that looks like it came out of a Blackmagic camera and a high-end colourist suite. Skies become deeper, faces glow, and reflective surfaces get the characteristic streaked highlight that anamorphic lenses produce. It is the fastest way to give travel photography, portraits, behind-the-scenes shots, and music-video stills a cinematic mood without manually building a LUT in DaVinci Resolve. Combine it with 4K Upscale for poster prints, or stack it on Skin retouching for finished, glowing editorial portrait edits.
