Look Select

Choose a complete look such as teal and orange, faded film or golden hour, and blend it in with one slider. Optionally keep skin tones out of the effect.

Good for Auditioning grades fast, a consistent style across a set, adding mood without building a colour chain

When to use it

Each look is a short recipe of colour moves: a shift of colour in the shadows or highlights (in LAB colour space), a gentle contrast curve, and saturation changes in selected hues. Look Select runs the recipe for you and blends the result with the original.

How it differs from LUT Preset: the LUT presets are fixed colour tables. Looks here are built from the pack's own colour tools, which lets them protect skin and treat colours selectively. Both are for quick results; for your own .cube files use LUT Import.

The six looks

Preset Character
cinematic-teal-orange Classic cinema grade: teal shadows, orange highlights, mild S-curve.
warm-skin-tone Portrait-safe warmth: lifts the orange band, calms greens, protects highlights.
moody-green Deep editorial greens, crushed shadows, muted highlights.
faded-film Lifted blacks, warm mids and gentle overall desaturation, like a soft film print.
golden-hour Warm late-day cast, stronger orange and yellow, protected blues.
desaturated-pop Muted background colour while orange-red skin tones stay lively.

Quick start

  1. Connect Load Image → Look: Select Preset → Preview Image.
  2. Pick a preset. Keep intensity at 0.7.
  3. Turn on protect_skin if faces start to look orange, green or washed out.
  4. To compare all six at once, open the six-look compare workflow below.

Settings

Setting Default What it does Tip
preset cinematic-teal-orange The look to apply. See the table above.
intensity 0.70 Mix between original (0) and full look (1). At 0 the image is returned unchanged. 0.4 to 0.7 for natural results; 1.0 for a stylised look.
protect_skin off Reduces each step of the look on skin-coloured pixels. Try it with cinematic-teal-orange, golden-hour and moody-green.

Output: image — the graded image.

Tips from retouching

  • warm-skin-tone and desaturated-pop are designed around skin. They are used with protect_skin on in the compare workflow, but the switch is not turned on automatically, so set it yourself.
  • Looks stack well with a final contrast tweak from Tone Curve.
  • For precise control over a single colour, switch to Hue/Saturation per Range and Saturation Mask.
  • To keep the same look across a series, fix preset and intensity and run the whole batch through the same node.
  • Skin protection is a colour-based guess. Warm wood or sand can also be protected. Check the result.
Under the hood

Presets are JSON files in the pack's presets/ folder with a list of operations; nodes/look_base.py runs them and blends with lerp(original, processed, intensity). The operations are a LAB colour shift (global, shadow, highlight and midtone weights), an RGB tone curve, a hue/saturation change inside a hue band, and a saturation change inside a saturation range. With protect_skin the skin mask (hue around 24° with a 28° band, multiplied by a saturation range of 0.18 to 0.95) scales down each step's change (the change is multiplied by one minus the mask). Output is clamped to [0, 1]. The dropdown is a fixed list in nodes/look_select.py, so adding a JSON file alone does not add a look. The protect_skin_default field in the JSON files is not read by the node.
