Cinematic colour grade with vignette
Cinematic colour grade with vignette: a free, copy-paste prompt for Gemini and ChatGPT. Upload your photo, paste the prompt, and fill in any [BRACKETED] fields.
The prompt
Give this photo a cinematic colour grade. Deep contrast, slightly lifted blacks, a soft vignette, natural skin tones and gentle film grain. Colour direction: [TEAL AND ORANGE / WARM GOLD / COOL BLUE]. Keep every detail and composition the same.
Pro tip: Ask for a lighter effect if it looks too heavy. Subtle grading looks more professional.
