Frequently asked questions

What is Photon 3D?

Photon is designed to make many traditional color grading tasks a lot simpler without compromising on functionality. It does this by visualizing color in its natural, three-dimensional state. Color grading is done by "painting" on a preview image or by directly shaping a 3D color model. As you click and drag, Photon adjusts this 3D model to reflect your intended adjustments. The color shapes you create with Photon can be exported as 3D LUTs into many other software applications for editing and post production as well as on-set monitors and cameras.
