Workflow

Direct the shot before you grade the mood

Use this workflow when the existing image already works, but the mood needs film lighting, lens character, atmosphere, and smoother camera language.

  1. 01

    Choose the source frame

    Start from a scene, portrait, product-adjacent shot, sports frame, or concept visual with a clear subject.

  2. 02

    Name the film treatment

    Use mood language such as rainy neon, golden-hour commercial, sci-fi lab, or trailer contrast.

  3. 03

    Generate a cinematic pass

    Create a stronger mood while keeping the original composition readable.
