Color Grading plug-in, creates a cine image look based on user input. For a contemporary image look, use complimentary colors in shadows and highlights. It is also preferable to be used on a somewhat neutral image (ie pre white balanced) for best control of the final result. If it's not a raw image balance it before with Color Balance 2.



FILES TO COPY:

For normal installation copy:
color_grading_cw_v171.py
colorwheel_150.png

If above is not working, copy:
color_grading_cw_v171_safemode.py
colorwheel_150.png


If you are a developer or studying the code you can use:
(The developer version generates the colorwheel if .png file
is not found, requires numpy installed, numpy is not automatically installed in Windows)
color_grading_cw_v171_developer.py
If color_grading_cw_v171_developer.py is not working then try:
color_grading_cw_v171_developer_safemode.py
