Apply Color Grading to Photos
Apply cinematic, editorial, or custom color grades to photos for consistent visual identity across social media and campaigns.

ToolPhotographers and content creators who want a distinctive, consistent visual tone across their work spend significant time in post-processing. Applying a coherent color grade to hundreds of photos for a campaign or social feed is repetitive work that often gets inconsistent results when done manually.
Photo Style Transfer applies professional color grading — cinematic film stock emulation, editorial tones, moody shadows, or bright lifestyle palettes — to any photo with consistent results across a full batch.
Content creators use this to establish a recognizable visual identity for their social feed. Brands use it to enforce a consistent visual tone across campaign imagery. Photographers use it to apply a signature grade to entire shoot deliverables quickly.

How to apply color grading to photos with Claude
Once connected (see setup above), use the Photo Style Transfer tool:
- Upload a sample photo and describe the visual mood you want — warm golden hour, cool editorial, moody desaturated, or a specific film stock reference.
- Run `color_grade` through `photo-style-transfer` to apply the grade.
- Ask Claude to evaluate the result — does it match the intended mood, is the grade too heavy or too subtle, does it work across different lighting conditions?
- Lock the grade and apply it to the full set for a consistent visual identity.
Example prompt for Claude
Try this with Claude using the Photo Style Transfer tool
Use photo-style-transfer to apply a color grade to this photo — I want a warm, slightly desaturated film look like early 2000s fashion editorial. Review the output and tell me if the grain and warmth are calibrated correctly, then suggest how to adjust for a cleaner more modern version.
Tips for Claude
- Reference specific film stocks or photographers — 'Kodak Portra 400' or 'Annie Leibovitz style' — for more precise grade matching.
- Test the grade on photos with different lighting conditions — a grade that looks great in golden hour can wash out indoor shots.
- Ask Claude whether the grade would work as a consistent identity across a 30-photo Instagram feed — individual success is not enough.
Apply cinematic, editorial, or custom color grades to photos for consistent visual identity across social media and campaigns. ChatGPT is effective when color grading is part of a broader content batch — grading all photos in a campaign with consistent settings and documenting the grade spec.

How to apply color grading to photos with ChatGPT
Once connected (see setup above), use the Photo Style Transfer tool:
- Provide the campaign photos and describe the target visual tone.
- Run `color_grade` with `photo-style-transfer` across the full set.
- Ask ChatGPT to describe the grade applied so the spec can be documented for future campaigns.
- Export the graded set with the grade spec as a campaign visual package.
Example prompt for ChatGPT
Try this with ChatGPT using the Photo Style Transfer tool
Use photo-style-transfer to apply a consistent editorial color grade to these 6 campaign photos — cool blue shadows, neutral highlights, slightly desaturated mid-tones. Return the graded set and write a short grade spec I can use for future campaign consistency.
Tips for ChatGPT
- Ask ChatGPT to describe the grade in transferable terms — specific values, not subjective impressions — so it can be replicated.
- Review the graded set as a grid to confirm visual consistency across photos taken in different lighting.
- For seasonal campaigns, define a grade per season rather than one universal grade — it allows variation while maintaining brand coherence.

How to apply color grading to photos with Copilot
Once connected (see setup above), use the Photo Style Transfer tool:
- Upload the content photos and specify the target visual tone and platform.
- Run `color_grade` through `photo-style-transfer` to apply the grade.
- Ask Copilot to document the grade settings for future use.
- Schedule the graded photos to the content calendar.
Example prompt for Copilot
Try this with Copilot using the Photo Style Transfer tool
Use photo-style-transfer to apply a warm lifestyle color grade to these 4 product photos for our Instagram. Return the graded images and schedule them for the next 4 Tuesdays at 9am.
Tips for Copilot
- Apply the grade before scheduling — it prevents post-publication inconsistency if the visual style is finalized first.
- Ask Copilot to document the grade spec so any new photos added to the queue can match the existing visual identity.
- Check the grade against the brand's existing published posts before scheduling — a sudden tonal shift confuses followers.

Once connected (see setup above), use the Photo Style Transfer tool:
- Define the grade parameters — tone, temperature, saturation, and shadow treatment — before batching.
- Run `color_grade` with `photo-style-transfer` across the full photo set with locked parameters.
- Flag any photos where the grade produces unexpected results — typically outliers in lighting or composition.
- Export the graded batch with consistent filenames for publication or handoff.
Example prompt for OpenClaw
Try this with OpenClaw using the Photo Style Transfer tool
Use photo-style-transfer to apply a consistent warm editorial color grade to all 40 photos from this campaign shoot. Use the same grade parameters across the full set and flag any where the result looks inconsistent with the majority.
Tips for OpenClaw
- Test the grade on a representative sample (portrait, outdoor, product) before running the full 40-photo batch.
- Define 'inconsistent' before review — a photo that looks dramatically warmer or cooler than the set average is an objective flag.
- Export graded and un-graded versions of flagged photos so the decision to regrade or adjust is made with both options visible.
