COLOR GRADING & COLOR CORRECTION

At ZITRO POST, color correction and grading are where visuals truly come to life. It’s not just about making images look good; it’s about shaping how they feel. We start with corrections to ensure technical accuracy: matching shots, balancing exposure, and restoring natural tones.

Then comes grading, the creative process that defines mood and emotion. Whether it’s warmth, tension, nostalgia, or cinematic depth, we use advanced tools like Color Separation, Face Refinement, and Contrast to sculpt the look.

To elevate the aesthetic, we incorporate enhancements like Depth Maps, Film Looks, Lens Flares, Beauty Filters, and others, always with the story in mind. The result is a cohesive, powerful visual experience that reflects and elevates the client’s vision.
